Eighteen is a windswept borderline: In a moment, gates forever closed. Gulf of dreams behind the vanished child, Halfway round the corner of her smile. The change flaps in the breeze, but in a while Each motion turns to dance, each gesture wild Eventually is placed, positioned, posed: No leaping for sheer joy but by design.
