The Ceremony of twelve
Observation
The elders
Watching him
And realized
A day when he would be sent away
Lifetime assignment
He wanted his childhood again
Scraped knees
Ball games
Bicycles line up outside
Didn't want the pain
Didn't want the pain
Didn't want memories
Keep his feelings hidden
Jonas entered
and realized
Aware.
