Hide and Seek
Scaring ourselves silly
summer night winds
warm, but not enough.
Always choose dare.
Brave shoes run.
Keep track of good deeds.
No one tells the truth
that's boring.
Sneaking up the path
to the graveyard.
Hide and seek
between the stones.
Shadow in the trees.
Howling in the breeze.
Grasp of long grass
fingers on ankles.
Stillness of stars
breathe goosebumps
down the spine.
What are you so afraid of?
We played this game all of the time
when we were alive.
