There comes a hardening
There comes a hardening

to the innocent—
a sharpening—
before last breath
—as eyes that have seen too much—
cloud over.

Shrieks of growing up
silence into mist and myth
—remembered as innocence—
untouched by time.

But touched they were—
by soft rain—
hard hands—
the tear of skin—
the healing scab.

The moving away from innocence
—that never was—
that never will be again.
