Calling Them Back

“Dreams littering

up the home”

—Geraldine McCarrghean

Peter Pan in Scarlet

The twilight flicker—

Between waking & sleep

Had got stronger & stronger

All one had to do—

Was close one’s eyelids

And the Night Show began

The cute Neverland Boy—

Was back again and

Poking around the Now

“Perhaps the Dreams—

Are Messages” said

Both of the Twins

“Perhaps we’ve—

Gotta go back again”

The Lost Boys thought

Wendy agreed—

Peter Pan was calling

Them back again
