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 1/31/2022

Thank you, Susan! For me it always brings back childhood. My friend said there was honeysuckle growing around the fence between our houses. I didn’t know that.
