the other wall without wood
you remember the one
at the library building
after the books were gone

when the sun skin dancers came
and moistened glass with their mouths
they were the fantasy film
over exposed on purpose

they made music with fingers
sleepers listened with nods
and sat on the front rows
with their knees up

the trees were painted on
but we carved our initials anyway
and hid under the bleachers
til the children quit playing

it was then we were dust
and the long robes moved us
as we looked up at nude ceilings
bare feet were our tattoos

time was pennies that cost us a quarter

"time was pennies that cost us a quarter"

Nostalgia in fine form -- and your line above, so true!  Enjoyed.

fascinating write from title to signature

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Much enjoyed the view thru your eyes Dark.
Hugs~

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back
