the palatinate of childhood

 the palatinate of childhood 


the palatinate of childhood 

the players

where did you fit in

fitted in

unthought 

how the sculptor of time

and again rough edges

elbow jostled

into the grassed knees

the bloody grazes

the bandaged mothers

while all along the man

was growing in the boy

who ran the bridges 

and jumped the streams

without biting his tongue once

all those days now just

an invisible splinter 

under the nails of a clause

in the contract with youth

hold on

the wheel is turning

take your seat
