There’s a world above your head
That you’ve only just discovered
There’s a sunrise in addition
To the sunsets that you’ve known
I watched you hold your breath
Taking tiny hits of chaos
Until your lungs forced an exhale
Breaking ribs and cracking teeth
I heard your lips release a hurricane
Heading straight for the horizon
Filled with years of grey formations
Monsters hidden in the clouds
And it swept them all away
Now your skin darkens with summer
Flush with newly naked sky
Freckled faces turning upward
To the world above your head
