nothing but tail lights
cattle drive to wherever
clutch and brake nightmare
nothing but tail lights
cattle drive to wherever
clutch and brake nightmare
Breath of firmament Spirits
so savor’d by us
Another decade
And we’re still here
You a bit ruffl’d
I a bit grayer
Should the time come
when I no longer see you perch’d here
or you no longer see me—
let’s cherish the memory of our little chats
a man now
in a world of new rules
new accountability
new maturity
new virility
new sensibility
new rationality
but will whisper the heart
in the far tomorrow
about the kid who never left
our thoughts
wish themselves
about inland shoals
where beauty
be Mistress
her peace
overlaying strife
her wisdom
impart’d
for at least
this moment
better
to be shar’d
with tomorrow
