I melt away,
To be swallowed by dark soil,
And sleep in long grass.
Broken china cups,
Behind a classroom bookshelf,
Teatime for fairies.
Creaking branches sway,
As cool gusts drink the hot air,
Leaves whisper thank you’s.
Girl taps out her beat,
While Boy dances like a fool,
Laughter in sunshine.
Sweating on the floor,
Arms and legs spread far apart,
Fan spins above, slow.
