Cherry

When I Was Young (Not-quite literal translation of 'Quand J'étais Jeune')

When I was young I wore all my selves Like ballgowns- Soft cotton naivety, glittering green mystery, Every facet a stitch Of the years, the beautiful influencing words.

I have a friend who I have known Since our pebble-picking days Since a bird's cry, a rain-shower Could wash all our fears away Since we learned to tie our laces In a big, unwieldy bow

Song Of Change

When we linger in a dream Of a day which once was We find ourselves Less alive Than before Something is lost in transition Something dies in thought New songs grate on the ear
