This Quiet Reminder

Always in the back of my head

I have a responsibility

Given free reign, drive ahead

figure out culpability.

~

I remember when I did

where I was and what was said

~

Standing on the bridge that afternoon

we could feel the river below us

swoon and listen to the birds in tune

the moment is ours we did, well was.

~

I wouldn’t forget a face like yours

she cried, he feared, a shadow near.

Wasn’t anything left, no befores

Now is when the dances end I fear.

~

I remember when I did

where I was and what was said.
