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.
