Untitled (JCH -- 1992)
the scent of fallen leaves will become nostalgia
to the young boys exploring the woods w/awe and wonderment
and in a few yrs., he’ll return to this place
to be alone with his thoughts and memories
silently searching for something he’s lost;
he’ll recall his best friend from yrs. back
and the ghost cows will line the rotting fence
watching w/deep set eyes as the sun becomes red
and burns the ground
