- I
- Lily's leaves- Upturned
palms that gently collect drops
of summer's warm tears.- II
- Water balloons burst
Excited squeals fill the street.
I join the blue team.- III
- Indian summer
nights: legs swaying from the pier.
The sea sprays my soles.- IV
- Lost souls in darkened
cells, terrified to sleep-The
night sky swallows dreams.- V
- Sail to distant lands,
every corner of the earth.
You are still alone.
