normal please

i want to go back
to ingersoll lakeside
i want to go swimming in the dark
through the waves
wandering down the path in the forest
following glow sticks
like the white pebbles
or bread crumbs
of hansel and grettel
i collected them all at the end of the night
thinking as i did
that no one else would be able to retrace their path
cutting off the beach
til morning
i threw the bunch of glowing wands into the air
at the end of the path
onto the lawn
like the shooting star id seen so brief across the sky
these made rainbows into the night
before they lay still in the grass on the lawn
i want to go back
wishing i had stayed later
helped more
