evening cooled the air
before school.
a solemn thought
and what was felt,
challenged
the feats of futbol
to traversed
hop-scotches

the teacher calls:

child why have you ran there ?

"looking through
the crevices"

"playing hide and seek"

trembling with elation
- where the light
shines through
your smile

signal,
your limber hands
hope through your words
a tone of resilience
your mother once spoke.

Prince,
you are found
return now
along the port line's
seas
she sees you now
