Papers scatter 'round the halls,

  Sticking to him as he spins and twirls

  Haunted by his own memories

  of when he was a girl

  Scattered papers, all of pictures

  Skirts, necklaces, dresses, and bows

  All girly things he wore in distant memories

  of when he was a girl

  A scanty drawing flying past catches the boys attention

  Of a young stick girl and her mother

  Bows earrings and skirts decorate the barely drawn women

  Both dawned in high-heeled slippers

  Easily he catches the drawing

  and holds it closer to his face

  To wonder who the little girl is

  With a dead name he used to use

  Scattered papers stop and still

  As he stops his frantic twisting spirals

  Gazing at the older woman he knew

  Whom he once called his mother.
