jill is not ready
jck and jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
jck fell down and broke his crown
and jill came tumbling after

we dazed
we celebrated
we smelt
we felt
then we fell silent
and then we stopped
and we agreed again
that’s how the story stopped
but jck hopes it just paused
jck thought about it
“no”, he thought
“it’s not going to stop just there,
matters of the heart most of the time can’t be spoken,
but only felt,
jck sometimes still don’t know,
how jill really felt,
but he is going to persevere
he is going to be patient
the pains, the struggles, the going through and decisions of growing up again”
