Stay with me evening t-shirts since time keeps pace with the heated pavement
Leaves now dive and scream in brilliant bursts of reluctance when I always thought they were smiling at my bows
After desktop laziness, roller blades hummed past chiding fences and embers rested before fragile complacency
I'd ignore roots and stones only to then regale them with thoughts of bike pedals and hand holding
Trees no longer perform monologues under thunder but I remember when I impatiently held onto pews for answers
If you cared would you have tugged my hand when my knees bent for school bus stairs?
When I learn more to know less and through learning I forget the clouds' idle gossip
Can you tell me where fairies play cards or when Apollo sits for tea?
Will I see you again in places I didn't think you'd be?
