The numbers fell randomly.

Wyilko.

Before they see us, they will click.

Leave no gaps through.

Their itchy bites will really sting, oh hu!

At its loneliness and at sea.

For no choice in the matter be.

Closed in a hardcover and sealed.

A day of colour.

And the dreams light up.

Gradually a peak of shine was to call.

Popped its head to greet us all.

While the news was great after all.

Aiorkoly

I heard the thunder.

Aiorkoly.

Whispering in the distance.

It wouldn’t be long now.

Would her call be a fall?

Abundance of flowers.

Down the garden below.

Butterflies waltzing.

To a dance of their lives.
