Of all I've left unsettled in an anthem of goodbyes
I think of your dismay
and what's become of me
a peal of thunder far away
and slips from memory
Of all the panoplies I've seen of fading days and skies
adrift in summer heat
and stuff of younger years
between those things that make life sweet
and softly disappear
Of all the moments left behind let this be kept alive
a day in your home town
and night beneath the world
an unpaved road; the window down
and autumn hair unfurled.
Draft Aut 2014.
