◇☆ remember that little human ☆◇

Remember

You are still

All you have been 

That little kid

Drawing green worms

And rainbows

With thick chalk

On summer roads

Remember 

That sweet sent

Of thick warm plastic

From blown up pools 

and rainjackets

Remember

Mudpiles and wet brown socks

Buckets of sand 

And millions of little hands

Bubblegums and hairclips and beads

Remember 

Somewhere in you

A little human sleeps

But in the fog of autumn

Behind black trees reaching

You carried the cold shadows

In your hands 

And stuffed them in pockets

Wormlike crawlings

And in later days

You were that quiet wormlike insect

Hunched over a sweaty skewed school desk

Cutting your tounge

Pinching red into your hands

Locked to floors inside corridors

No chalk or light or strawberry jams

You were that little kid

Where the feet where sharp

And the mouths sharper

You were misplased

Under waterfalls

Of rocks, needles and nails

So remember now

As you see your smuged face

In broken mirrors

Behind smoke and neon sun

You are still that little kid

Hands full of worms

And when you raise your voice

Remember 

How innocent and wishful

That little face once was

Remember 

Somewhere deep in you

That little human 

still sleeps
