When there’s no gray left
We spent hours talking about life;
Mapping tomorrow
Over board games and endless winters.
Summers spent fishing on the dock;
Playing in the creek at the park.
Little did we know that we’d battle in vein
Against forces referred to as keep away.
Once upon us we gave them a fierce kick in the ass
But they drew a parental line, deep as a river, between us.
Every bridge we built collapsed like sand;
Every road dead ended.
Navigation fogged or faded into arcane corners of our lives
So we called a truce with an open ended good bye.
December marks the 40th anniversary of our finality

In your own, each bone comes alive
the skeleton jangles in its perfunctory sleeve....
