I woke up today and found out that my old wish had come true
maybe it just had to wait it’s turn
for the wishes of other boys and girls to happen
My mummy and daddy were gone
I went outside and all the neighbours were gone too
and those noisy cars were gone
and the planes that always flew over the house and rattled my bedroom window
and the shops down the road were all closed
The other part of my wish also came true
outside there was a shelf with all the toys and lollies that were ever made
the shelf was too high for the birds to fly over
too wide for them to fly around
and as the the sun drifted over us
together we made shadows
Now my wish is two days old
there are lolly wrappers and toys covering the front garden
and the boxes helped to make pretend friends
with little cut out eyes
and I talk to them all the time
about how I miss having my real friends to play with
There was one other thing I forgot to wish for in my wish
a mummy or daddy needs to bury all the birds
and move all the pieces of ice
that keep falling out of the sky
Ground to Ground
