we filled our pockets with dry leaves,/made leafy pillows and lay down/beneath the cinnamon tree.
we stared up at the sun with our eyes closed/and saw the dust in the air turn into fireflies/we lay with the day.
the wind snuck into the cracks of our sleeves/and played songs in our ears./i used to watch you sleeping.

what does a cinnamon tree smell like? i imagine the bark to be thin and crackly. i should like very much to lay with the day, in a meadow behind a house, long grass growing up around me, fall asleep like rip van winkle, lying within a hallowed circle of stones and bones, books and paper.
