A Poem
By Al amin al Hassan
Take me down memory lane
Walk me past the playground
Hold me to the sound of hands clapping
And feet dancing
My face bloated with delight
My body blemished under the failing light
Swing me back and forth this memory
Hopscotches and bikes
Seesaws and knees stained green with grass
My untamed joy running free
My jaded spirit sliding with glee.
