Those Who Run with Knives! – M.Weisgerber


What do you need, on a day such as this?
Warm wind in the hair, soft smells on the face
Everything greening in self delight!

Toes in mud, buried deep; eating live worms.
Being ten again, every day and globs of goo
Adding to the stain of tie-dye jeans.

Better than a letter never sent, or a smile with sad eyes
An expectant pleading with a hint of bright?
Oh what to do when the weather turns fair...

Never again to cry (cept out of fits of jolly joy)
Once again to stumble into love, or out just as quickly;
Of soft kisses stolen in the moonlight!

Let doom twist and fall? We can laugh with him in the plummet
Grasp his pinkey, then pull him up to play;
This is we, the stupid pair in stories held – the ones who chase life!
