Beads 

(New). 

I found them on a tree 

(late).

I was skipping school 

(Gym).

Two strands, pearly 

(white)

one after another 

(darker).

They are different 

(longer)

(newer).

Hanging in branches

(tree).

I split them

(joined).

I tied them together

(twist).

I rub the plastic-soft beads

(rosary)

and wind them in my hand

(texture)

and wrap them round my arm

(rows)

and whip them round my waist

(hurts).

Run against itself it makes a sound

(croak)

(maracas).

I pull them on my elbow

(tight)

and hold them in my fingers

(digging).

They twist easily

(knotting)

(fraying)

(leaving)

as I tie them round my hand

(for another day).
