into the clearing
at the end of the path
by his own hand
We grew apart
some years ago
not through contention
only time and distance
I'm not naive enough
to believe
I could have effected
the outcome
But I wish
I wish I could have told him
he will live forever
in my secret heart
Watching Pee-wee's Big Adventure
eating Pop-Ice
riding bikes and playing soccer
the easy, unfraught days of youth
Eternal
