hey there you
little girl in those
perfectly fitting
baggy adult clothes
you don’t fool me
I could see through them from ten leagues away
hey there you
transparent little girl
who swallowed the sun
and pretends to be a stone-hard opaque
you won’t fool me ever
the sunlight pierced straight through everything it shouldn’t
and now I carry it always inside
This is my favourite of the new pieces. I love the simplicity, the directness/address, the imagery (naturally :P *mumble mumble*), the gentle repetition.
