Closing His Eyes

February 9, 2018February 9, 2018 ~ mariasjostrand ~ Leave a comment

 


He closes his eyes,

And there he is.

An Amazonian treasure hunt.

 

He closes his eyes,

And there he is.

A hero on the battlefront.

 

He closes his eyes,

And there he is.

Travelling to the great Bombay.

 

He opens his eyes,

And now he’s back.

In the classroom, dull and grey.
