In my childhood rainbows at kindergarten

In my childhood rainbows at kindergarten
Were painted on cement walls
Tarpaulin
I stood wincing in the sun
Little shoes, my little bracelets from my mother
Around my wrists,
Banners from the school halls' ceilings
Lights in the mothers' eyes,
Heaven-aspect in the door corners
In the classrooms oxygen and flowers.
Little sandals on our feet,
Moccasins and beads
Jangling.
