Mutations

In the dark
when the moon never rose
they never noticed
they never saw
this little person didn't shiver
didn't laugh
didn't look up at the shower of stars


In the day
 this child, caught out
with the wrong eye match
the displaced colouring


walking away

In the end
there was a place
 where something connected
they never noticed that kind of life
that kind of life
a cave where the sun stalked orange
when mountains of snow stayed forever
where the strange child
made them strangers.
