The Changeling

There is that mystery-all outdone-outgrown.
its mysticism-memories Still Known.

When you were a little Kid-
Before you were ever big.
A fawn amongst the ones all Grown......
Before the Changeling Came.

And took you Away-

It's breath Sounds as yours
although it does your chores-
where are you?- Now? Cause......

When you were very Small
It had made no difference at all.
But in your eyes the Changeling again.

Now we're Growin old-
Chill on my flesh- though it is not cold.
Remembering those Good things-
that we used to do......
Before that Black demon Changeling-
Replaced you.
