*You are no longer
a child
innocent or forgiven.*
*Slower now,
dreams have taken flight
with butterflies
and *****
thrown beyond your reach.
No longer child-bright,
you stand in court
where age
grows upon the wall
and eats the air.*
*Your shadow lingers
frightened at the door
unconvinced
then bounds away
to chase a dream.*
