As a child I crawled invisibly
away in the lower house
under the veranda
to see the rats
potter among woodlice
I felt big and strong
I pressed my lips together
against the little weak creepy cushions
and let their hard tails
whip my Gulliver body
I liked being their Atlas
under the adult world
upon my shoulders
which I separated from the earth
to keep it as it is
