writer. maker.
We go to castle on the border,
it rains and I remember that it rained
the last time that we came too.
We climb the winding stairs and
they try on the chain mail,
and they can’t believe how heavy it is.
The rain clears
and we go outside
and they roll down the bank,
the laughter exploding from their lungs
as they go.
