a block rolled slowly on the shoulders
turned the eyes to the sky
saw the sun and the light
it was bright
and the limbs shook free of the mass
gripping loose at the tree
all the bark tearing free
it was three
climbing, the light pulling in,
in, in to the source -
dying,
.....the light purifying
.........like the blast of the lightning
frightening
to the child
asleep
and a crash
it was nine
from the rain came the pain
while the coldness flowed in vain
but no use to complain
because the house is far away
the limbs pulled in,
the block shuddered - ached
for the light,
for the house,
there was a darkness growing
it was twelve
the tree evaporated
the molecules faded
into ozone
the boy dreamed of falling
down the stairs, streaked
in the shadow paint
of the night
was there comfort at the base of the stairs?
was there peace, or progression?
jealousy, and anger...
all of these
the boy floated into
the landing space
the learning place
this is the journey of child into adolescent
