When You Were Eight
By: .
The avocado grass is slouching.
Backs erect and calm.
The mud brown of the tree's body stands straight,
and tall.
The body of the tree is incredibly huge, as it remains standing, like a solider.
Anna runs around the tree, eager to surprise her friend, Robert, on the other side of the tree's core.
Laughing and sprinting through the fields that coat the
old town.
The two children sit with their heads resting upon the scratchy trunk.
Someone calls out, "Anna!" the delicate girl whips her head around, her mama looked impatient. Anna peers at the sun, its dinner time.
Robert looks at her olive green eyes, and says, "Goodbye, Anna."
The pink rose petals fall in her auburn kissed hair. He laughs at her confused expression. Anna runs frantically to her old house, for when you were eight things were so easy.
