an exercise in recollection

come with me while
i run
chase after me and
when i'm lost
just look for a shadow peeking
just behind you
follow it
i will run
run till we reach
a place of
laughterscreamingjoy.

It's the edge of the cliff
one foot suspended
open abyss below
hold my hand
let's leap
we'll scream "free falling"
all the way down
