With the passing of the torch the fire spat on needles dried. years of tears beneath the porch-- a kindling of lover's sighs... one roller skate beneath worn board, and one half-pint of empty hoard... memories be ill afford, a yo-yo with a rotten cord. And what is this within the dust? Hotwheel--double-decker bus! And there, a spoke of wheel once churned remembering a skinned knee's burn... Out back the fig tree full with fruit purpled puce of young lips bruised... licking lips of succulence-- so young to find my youth was spent. The trellis, once was over there. I learned to climb it on a dare. My brother laughed as Daddy glared. Next week? The trellis wasn't there. The fires, back, behind the shed, beneath the oaks, blankets were spread. I knew not a word called "dread". I never saw the eyes of dead. I never saw the future pass, like blades in bend of barefoot grass. I never glimpsed the tears of gods as I stared into the fog of soft white downy swirl of sky spirals sparkling in my eyes, against hypnotic shade of blue-- unmatched until I first saw you. Again, the passing of a torch... I cringe behind a charcoal scorch. |

Very melancoly....life has a way of ending up as bits and pieces of what we had/were/are. I'm liking this missy!  |
