A poem from the GP publication :

Defenestration
by Indrani Perara

I will wait for you at the corner store
where we bought wizz-fizzes
and dreamt of the dawn

I will wait for you on the shore
where we danced naked
and waited for the dawn

I will wait for you in the woods
where we talked of the world
and planned for the dawn

I will wait for you on the swings
where we chased the sky
and caught the moon

I will wait for you, my love
till you shall come home again
and then we shall live for the dawn
