Coaching (Free verse) by onepinksock
balanced in adolescence
or perhaps sauntering
blindsided into still unpolished
years-
the form of a girl
grasping for fellowship-
pronouncing "insert self here."
.
The form of woman-
Constant in another generation
Unaware-
What splashes she made
shaped ripples that
Fashioned waves in some.
.
The progression of selves
were singular- one life
Coincidentally molding the next.
.
Funny, I say, that
a mystical motion
in which hands,
bearing love,
unrequited,
can tip the fragile off the pedestal
sans thought
sans look
sans touch.
.
Upon breaking on cold tile
Adolescence seemed neon-
Howling in one ear
Sounds of fury, shame- fervor
And whispering in another
Directions on normalcy.
.
Woman made girl
And girl to woman
On fields- not understanding
Who or what
Produced fates,
Or why we never
See angels till after
They've passed.
