Notes About The Poem

Betwixt Us Honeysuckle

he recalls childhood —
   betwixt us honeysuckle
      chest high chain link fence

scent lingers within
   the boundary of neighbors —
      heart’s swoon carries it

could i be that bird
   that flutters its wings of time —
      hover o’er the past

honeysuckle scent —
   i come out the door to play
      i look innocent

i’m not a poet
   yet — just a scared little bird
      in need of a friend

lang syne lingers with its scent
