Peek into the Doorway
Your giggles once echoed here, on this side of the wooden steps.
Shadows follow you, yet they dare not enter.
Tickle the doorknob and ask the wind if it's your turn.
The dreams written in dust still shimmer on weeks grown long.
Remember the lady-bug brigade?
We sailed paper boats size-peanut, they declared.
While the moon danced hopscotch across puddle pearls.
Close your eyes, our whispers echo in the tree leaves.
Found a stick that promises wisdom,
Wrote in the snow.
A single footprint says four-five-six when pronounced with helium voice.
Dust settles thick to skeleton a passage, only not breaking apart was a boy's wish. Hm.
whispered migrations
forgotten puzzles in imagined haze
