on mushrooms in the moonlight
twenty-five years ago
I knew you for the first time
your head beaming rivers of gold
heavy frozen branches
bursting silent and still
halo round your frame
throwing light down
on Graceland Hill
when I was a kid
winter brought lost wind and flight
thin plastic spaceships
sailing on physics and ice
into the cold
we climbed to catch that thrill
one with the now
zooming down
Graceland Hill
innocence lost
experience awkwardly won
your hands told mine
how to finish what didn't get done
headlights grabbed our shadows
and tossed them into the chill
cold dark relief
of the backseat
at Graceland Hill
