Half Year Child

I was born

in the half year

in the between of

spring and summer

the Clementine daydream of never ending twilight.

I am a half child

barely spoken of to the birds who disregard me as if I were human

but I have a hollow

inside of me

and I think

that is why I've always wanted to fly

away

into the stratosphere

and get lost

find who I am;

not a half year child

but someone who doesn't look sun-burnt from days of crying

someone

who

loves their self.
