run away
on green legs
on fresh toes and feet,
beat the setting sun,
what fun our
memoried youth,
loved by the aged
heart and mind,
i cannot find
the promise of
that tomorrow
without sorrow or
reflection on an end,
no friend or lover
has a double vision
the collision of an open
eye or heart,
how far these legs
have run!
only to walk
and slow,
too soon it’s
time to go
