The sinuous river of your childhood. Do you remember how it slid between your young legs before winding away, making its lively and bubbly sounds. You would have made it light-headed with your games and screams. When you lingered late in the afternoon after school, and you…

Whose soul do you have, now? (How many are you?) There are several around here running from death, laughing, whom you might know.

I thought I saw you once
When you were still quite young
Surveying great beauty
Like a rain shower in the sun

Those sharp voices of our youth
Shouting with pleasure in the fields
While looking at the sky

“I’m getting old,” she said. “Going slow. But getting there. I’m ninety-four!”

Was it only for the vast dance of the darling soul, that you were born? Not to give up your genetics? Made for the use of the future, were you? I should have known. I heard the wind that swirled within you, even then, when we were so young.
