We were playing in the garden at dusk
Laughing as the shadows chased us around
They were soft with an effervescent musk
The stars twinkled out, soared over the ground
Fireflies emerged carrying our dreams
Watching our games lay lilacs underfoot
Stars that were falling brightened into streams
Maybe we were streaming; they just stayed put
You laughed once and your smile engulfed it
With a missing tooth you now had suction
The gap was narrow; it didn't all fit
You weren't bothered by the obstruction
Just like a rainbow swirling light spectrum
Out into the air, out away, you've swum
