Once upon a time

I pressed my face against the cold glass of the nursery window and waited for the arrival of a boy searching for his shadow and once upon another time, when I was older, I listened in a darkened theatre as Peter Pan said Clap. Clap if you believe in fairies.

bedtime story
I cover the moon
with my thumb
