Innocence
They say to stop worrying,
you should visualise your childhood,
carefree days of bare feet
on freshly-mowed grass,
jumping over a hose-stream
and climbing up a tree;
and I hate to break it to them,
but I hardly remember a time
without worries,
because even the little girl
drawing chalk circles
knew they'd have to turn to sigils
to ward off the evils of the world.
