Thursday Poem: Watch it Tumble Down

Watch it Tumble Down

I want to walk those hillsides again.
I want to go back to when I was young
and I want to rip that youthful stupidity
out of my young and foolish mind
and fling it far out over the river valley
as far as my strength can send it.

I want to watch it tumble down, slowly
falling like almost forever until it is lost
deep in those dense trees on the riverbank
where we lay together while you made plans
for our shared lives stretching out forever
and I laid my careful plans of escape.
