Golden sun and molten chocolate
under a tree
full of birds singing
babies swinging and slipping
an old man sleeping
in dreamy reverie.
I took the second right
and right before me
emerged the paradise.
They pecked my cheeks
the children unescorted
wind spreading soft on my skin
their rose tinted saliva.
I pushed a swing
and her giggles
filled the air with mist.
She soared
and when almost
her feet touched the sky
came down upon the grass.
I took the second right
and there wasn't a park,
only dusty grills
with a rusted lock.
The rosy lips
were still whispering
on my cheeks.
For all the children dreaming of open space and freedom.
