that time of day
when the air smells like
laundry detergent
and the light
gets that pinky
hue
do you
go out walkin
me too
.
I like to see em
out with doggies
all resembling
their owners
.
and the lamps
coming on
in kitchens
their pans clanging
their lives living
a living theater
just for me
just for us
.
ever notice
how fast time
moves
how fast the light
moves
after five o’clock
.
hey,
do you remember
when I caught you
staring at the moon
your head in the dirt
and you reminded me
we don’t look up enough
.
said, “stars – see
how they’re breathing”
said, “ain’t life grand”
a big sweet smile
on that familiar face
and I took your hand
heads in the dirt,
I took your hand
.
hey,
do you remember
a minute ago
when we were kids
walking home
on that street
where our families
bottomed out
and you took my hand
shoes on the sidewalk,
you took my tiny hand
called me friend
and I thought
I’ll walk this to the end
.
I love you.
I still do.
forever and always,
will do
I’ll love you.
.
good.
me too.
