Raspberries

Raspberries crushed on our cheeks
Laughing so hard that we can't breathe
Cartwheeling through empty streets
Watching the sunrise cull the morning

I try to breathe one whole blink's full of air
And I feel my body rev up into a bright flare

Racing my bicycle with a bird
Stopping at the scenic overlook
Standing at the start line of a track
Floating away into ocean blue

I try to hear one whole breath's worth of sun
And I feel my body glorify the life that it's spun

Tucking my kitten into bed
Taking a break to stand on my head
Smelling a fresh-baked loaf of bread
Watching the sunset celebratе in red

I try to eat two dozen еars of corn
'Cause who knows if I'll still be here next time they come?
