cruel
a child coming out
in the rain
sqashing earthworms
down the alley
cruel
an august afternoon
with the sun
killing bird songs
down the alley
cruel
a lover's smile
in the end
vanishing dreams
down the alley
cruel
a kiss long waited
heart beatings and
bittersweet lips
down the alley
cruel
the time passing
slowly silently
sand-seconds
down the alley
my lover.
hold my hands
and swirl.
cruel the wind's
envy.
