Red Sticks and Amber Bottles
Saturday, May 20, 2006I darn miss that shade on the barren field
Where we wove stories over cig sticks and bottles of extra strong beer
Among the lone tree grasses were once green;
In school uniforms we sit mockingly, exchanging glances every now and then.
In between gulps we lament over our absence
Wishing we don’t miss quizzes and paperworks
As we pose to stare beyond the horizon,
Silence tows away the moments.
We wait in wonder if those mountains could echo the ringing of the bell
So we may consider retreating back to the classes
Half-drunk, half-sober, never to bother.
