"Let's go out to play,"
you say,
and, in a spirulina flash
I'm there
The madness of our tongues
clicking and spinning
as we leap onto the
pavement
running fast, now,
holding hands
we make a dash for the forest
bound through
tree-shadows
and soar through
piles of leaves
I don't need to speak
for you to understand
and you only need to look
into my eyes
to know how much
I see
We lock gazes
bathe in
the halo
of our
beaming faces
and then
we are off again
sprinting through
the wilds
getting lost
quite on purpose
dancing in our
private body language
mixing up those ancient
and modern tongues
as one
