Anniversary Day

Souls plucked as autumn leaves
Silver grey is sky
Children of blue ribbons
bubbles
floats and toes - 
mirth, o mirth!
shakes of milkshakes
wholesome creamy,
giggles and tickles
world is jiggled
o mighty wind!
feet of indian dancers
beat stomping rhythm
fast, fast
sweats pouring
sweats dripping

in a whirl in a twirl
souls depart
as shooting stars
