Silver Swirl

BoyintheMoonlight
BoyintheMoonlight
Boy in the Moonlight

A silver swirl
lay upon
a silver button
left on the rock hard floor
its keeper,
an
unknown
person
A silver swirl
in my palm
like a whirlpool in the sea
I could
almost feel the cool water
A silver swirl
lay upon
a silver button
left on the hard rock floor
its keeper,
an
unknown
person.
