Down there, down to Gretna Green--
past fields of Elysian--
hunter manifesting greed
layering the growth of wheat
before the turn of golden reed--
we tranced through chest-high hair.

We didn't look for rocks, but found
them, in disparate of ground.
One stance slightly off--askance,
watch a child turn foot and ask:

"Hey, who pushed me?" With a smile,
dancing on the toes for grace.
Fleeting foot then, saving face,
children run, just smiling miles
then turn and wait for you, disgraced.

I remember, streak gold hair
sitting in the sun's despair
I wove ribbons clover-bled,
forgetting I was ever there.
Pretending there was crown on me,
waving off the bumble-bees
wishing for tiara please...
the way
it used to be...

saving face and fleeting foot...
looking longingly at trees.
Just the way it used to be--
I wove ribbons--clover bled.

Thanks.

I thought I'd give this time. This is kinda what I figured.
