Skywide

Crash down softly, where the red crush deepens Charming, snatch your cherries from the stem Rude health walking in the greenburst showers Weather wonders whether she's with him. Then fly downhill for the lost sensation Climbing with a shudder back up fell, Rainjacked half smiles and a skywide feeling Rush to hunker down the shattered elm. She could suffocate the hyacinthes Breeding and pervading every pore Skim-stop stones among the lead-tipped peril Breathing once again in semaphore. They play catch perhaps, a shimmy in slow motion Every brush a shock to seek again All fall ragwards in the bluebell clusters Laughing, shrinking, knowing... something. Jill woos butterflies while you play Hamlet Cradling a half-brick in your hands Grass-stained livery that can't stay forever Sedge bonfire from nowhere and that hound. Who'll tell grandma that the wolf has eaten? Who'll break the bank for just a dare? Leave mudboots ashamed to save twelve seconds Gunning for the best seat in the lair.
