universe of shapes
worlds opposed
contrary to sight
reason skewed
stale rooms
are left unannounced
opposed one saunters
into flower beds
through misty glass
or from flower heads
talking stalks
adults don't listen
strain for light
in competition

worlds of shapes
careening in depths
removed
from lambswool shops
of empty shelves
stacked infinitely
how else can one imagine
a universe, apparently void
yet thriving at its core
for little girls
fleeing routine
of parental hazards
somebody to love,
hate sparks
punishment
kisses whiplash
powder bottoms
redden then
contrary to outward views
mirrored revelations

this is no doubt one of the main reasons that the world has become such an unfriendly place for many children.

You elaborate some very tough issues.
When we look through the looking glass
many inconvenient details become clear.

Thank you.
