Sun lifts the green laughter & flies

kites and blue, hills gently wave

fingers, eyes, and mouths smile

***

swirling brown and black

down and deeper greens and blues

sitting and waiting for the rain in the window

where the rainbow hides

***

sweaters, donuts and trees

chasing the breeze

two tails at a time

around a circle or two

***

False teeth tumble

rotten and hesitant

closed gate, locked for no one

sweet silence stolen

***

twirling and swimming in the wind

warmth and newness

colors blurred and strewn

***

mud between the blades

traps await the happiness

from here or there

no sunshine or clouds

***

flip through the files and find

the moment

the perfect day, tattered and torn

stained and imperfect

replay it as the perfect day

to forget
