lay down on the leaves

are you driving back home.
no expects
of a crash going down on the road.
all the scene in slow motion
_____

If you’re dating
someone new
and you find out
people can get worst
than you ever thought they would.
people killing for devotion.

_____

fall from the stairs,
caught by tornados,
have a heart attack,
poisioned by burritos.

_____

drown in the sea,
burned in your house,
stabbed on a fight,
attacked by gorillas.

_____

while you’re walking
all alone.
you look up and
the sun is shinning up and above.
sparrows bringing the summer.

_____

touched by the wind,
have a warm kiss,
a lick of icecream,
lay down on the leaves.
