Raindance

skipping
jumping
dancing
through these muddy puddles
squishing dirt and grass between our toes
dodging the lurching worms
that glisten in the full moon light.

it's late.
too late for us to be out
too late for us to be playing
too late for children to even exist
but still we laugh
as we ditch umbrellas
and shoes
and coats
reverting to our ancient rain-dancing ways.

our eyes sparkle with delight
as we dance like Gene Kelly or Julie Andrews
in this once-quiet darkness.

my sixteenth spring has begun.

-Rain solves so much. =3-

Smelter Road

time moves so slowly
no one believes in getting
any older now.

we travel the world
tonight
we are young again
tonight
we have all the time
tonight
we lay in the road
roll in the dirt
swing
laugh
run
nothing matters
no one cares
everything
is how it should be
tonight.

-We drove up Smelter Road the other night and sat and talked. It was perfect.-
