hopping the train

skipping stones, throwing roses
        a rock wall and jumping in puddles
you'll remember the tree forts, grass hutches
the trails and groves and the cold,
meandering breeze that puts your
           sweater on
and back to love and loss
the lonely days, tiresome winters,
afterthoughts      premonitions

but a creekside babble, cold
beverage to remedy the tired sentences
          of regret as the sunset
brings on a separate bit of reality

the night air, moonlight and blindness of
the treeless meadow.         and when
the car can't get any dustier you
brush aside the past and carry on;
   always ascending
