FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

we decide to play
a game
i start it first
i chase you
then you chase me
i hide
and you find me
and we laugh
and then you hide
and i find you
and so we laugh
again
and then i hide
and you cannot find
me anymore
and you too do
the same thing
we end a game
where we both
want to cry

at night we sleep
with distances
we wake up each
morning
and say

it is just a game
that children
play.
