is gone

as is the pond

we lay around

young’uns

kids really

being friends

kissing & thinking

that’s all it was

wanting something more

if not knowing what that was

then her old man

chasing me off

thinking i had designs

which i had

if to confess

i had no clue

what these were

colleen is gone now

as is the pond

one under earth

the other

to bricks

& concrete
