for the first time, a woman paints her nails
she rejoices
a delicacy
sunshine on his platter
which should be untouched
yet we all star into sun at some point
when i'm a baby star
not yet a decade old

i know of nothing
so every adult is a god to me
accidentally a damsel
destined to damnation
do you love when i am seven?
i never intended to capture you
(oh i did)
for i can't spell capture
but i can tie my shoelaces without your help
this body has retired
from new, shiny business
this mind has disintegrated
and reached the point where age is a number
