Pure girl upon the rails
You who wonders
Knowing not yet
The calling of your soul

Sweet blossom
Garnet lips of red
Brow furled, pondering
Edge of wonderment

Opalescent, olive skin
Dewy sweat of prancing youth
Cotton frock and underpants
Maryjanes your travel shoes

Buckles straight from history
Binding girlhood timelessly
Skip freely, my love
Step in sturdy, solid shoes
