YOUNG GIRLS

By Roy Wiggins


They are the young girls

As young girls are

Too old for kneecaps

Too young for cars

Too old for dolls too young for dates

With clocks still deferred for early and late

They are the young girls with still forming faces

Eyes of soft diamond and still growing graces

With vision still clear so close to the light

Still safe from the darkness and the corners of night

Still safe at the foothills, still secure on the shore

Still protected, directed, provided for

They are the young girls as each day brings

Growing hunger to unfurl untried wings

And crouch low and deep lean forward and leap

Upon air of their choosing the vision they seek
