Adolescence

I didn't talk to you

or touch you for I knew

that if I did the world

would crack and we be hurled

into a sinking sea

to watch each other drown.


Perhaps you dreamed of joy

believing girl and boy

could float on tidal waves

and find a beach that saves.

Now I can't face your free

uncomprehending frown.
