Us twirling round
our hair blowing free.
Bare feet leaving
short-lived footprints
in the sand.
The braided cotton
of our shirts
matched the weave
of our friendship.
Secretive longings
tucked inside our skirts.
We spun and hung on,
our faces bright
underneath the cloudy day.
Round and round
we went,
our ritual dance complete.
Dizzily we staggered
toward the roaring waves,
laughing how tomorrow
meant nothing
if we were never apart.
Us losing our balance
swallowed up,
swept away,
lost.
our hair blowing free.
Bare feet leaving
short-lived footprints
in the sand.
The braided cotton
of our shirts
matched the weave
of our friendship.
Secretive longings
tucked inside our skirts.
We spun and hung on,
our faces bright
underneath the cloudy day.
Round and round
we went,
our ritual dance complete.
Dizzily we staggered
toward the roaring waves,
laughing how tomorrow
meant nothing
if we were never apart.
Us losing our balance
swallowed up,
swept away,
lost.
