to sit in solemn silence on a dull dark dock


the sun shines a brilliant light casting long beams to form shadows down past the trees. the breeze lightly pushes her bang out of her face and her pony tail to and fro. not one cloud grazes the light blue sky. she stands patiently, though a slightly awkward. she sways back and forth a little to keep herself entertained and then finally she sees him. his tall broad figure lights up her deep blue eyes. and she runs to him. she runs to him fast and with all her might. when she reaches him she jumps, she flies, into his outstretched arms. and it feels like home. his tall physique and long face. he flips her blond pony tail with his finger and she giggles as he sets her down. they cup hands and walk slowly trying to stay in the shade of the trees. she glides as she walks. he seems as if he is trying to bury his feet into the ground…

they played catch with some sort of severe elegance. if that can even work. their faces distorted, they concentrated hard until the creases in their forehead became permanent. severe. arm back, full swing, release and follow through. it flies through the air in a flawless spiral. elegance. it continues and seems to linger in the air until it comes crashing down, landing perfectly, text book style, into the long limbed tree…

the lights flickered. everything around him was still. His heart thumped loudly through his chest into his throat and buzzed into his head…
