The Boys

The boys fell, fell, fell far away

From the calm air where the ocean lay

Where waves came up to swallow them

As the tree, tall as the Empire State Building

Swayed, soft and steady

The wind slapped them as they walked

Slowing their pace

But nobody, no nobody, cares

And the boys, pale as paper

Watching as the moon glistened through the dark clouds

And they moved against the wind

Slowly at first, then faster, faster

Until they collapse into

Wildflowers, dyed scarlet with blood

Dripping into a quickly flowing river

Pulling the boys along with the cold current

You've reached the end of published parts.
