Near golden sunsets

In a corner of the yard,
by the scorched wooden
beams of a teeter-totter,
a deflated bladder hung
in limp white and black.
And the slide, once shiny
in its aluminum splendor,
agonizes over its ashy makeup.
The harsh squeak of metal links
on metal links, sings reverence
to the heat of August,
a swing in the barest breeze.
Rubber footprints dot
the blacktop in gross
remembrance of noon.
Black smoke hangs on the horizon,
flames from here to there.
Only a charred tube testament
to the true fury of the wild.
Its mercury melting to liquid steel.

then I remembered how the game
was carried on...

and how well you did

with your very last line.
