Pale-eyelids
The queer noises of out hunger.
Yet more bizarre still its satisfaction.
Prowling dark alleyways;
we are no longer children.
Black ink on alabaster breasts.
With an ivory walking stick,
to support antiquated hips;
we are no longer children.
Removal of the newsboy cap.
Eyelashes like spiders.
The paradigm of beauty and fear.
We are no longer children:
Children are never alone.
