Swingset


i can feel everything right now

and i feel everything’s all right


tall grey grass swift as wind across our ankles

running faster as it scratches us

springing from uneven soil


i can go up just to look down

my feet write lines out in the ground


high grey grass stripped of colour by the salt

like it crawled out of the sea

amidst the driftwood and the sand


delightful swimming through the air

i feel the breeze blow through my hair


the swingset glides me to heaven

i ride right back where i belong


i can feel everything right now

and i feel everything’s all right
