-I-

Apr. 10, 2009

I remember racing around the corner of Charles in an emerald engine

Endless summer nights walking alongside a surging black ocean

Journeys on alien highways towards uncharted territory

Dance halls adorned with luscious flowers twisting to the Blues

The unbridled roar of a new Fender Strat cutting through the air

Watching her lithe stomach rise and fall as she slept

The verdant coastlines and toppled watchtowers of Southern Ireland

Whipping a net to and fro at an elusive bullfrog on Stone Row Lane

I remember the first time I saw you

Your eyes lit up the room

Forcing my aqua blue Huffy up Meadowview

And makeshift forts blanketed with fallen leaves and pine cones
