JUMPING INTO THE PAST
( SPRINGEN IN DIE VERGANGENHEIT )

rainy rainy day
a hopscotch  
almost washed away  

pounced upon  
by some off duty nuns
becoming girls again  

hike up  
their habits  
and hop  

their laughter  
bringing out  
the sun

I think
that's the best  
kind of prayer  

and God  
in his Heaven is
alright with the world

They were German nuns and they were playing HIMMEL UND HÖLLE( Heaven and Hell)which is what hopscotch is called in Germany.
