Childhood Memory

Glancing down she looked at the scar  between her elbow and shoulder ugly standing out this scar was an open folder Of memories of an incipient time evanescent recollections of friendships lost love entwined Man hunt manhunt one two three! playing under the nights penumbra those words at the time were the most important decree Tag she was it Caught caught caught! laughing so hard she fell on the sidewalk Her arm bleeding from the fall wouldn't stop her  continuing to play under the nightfall As she reminisced about those ephemeral days So many firsts came racing back forever in her heart they were engraved When did existence become so complicated life's clock always ticking moments unable to be replicated  That scar created  reminding her life at a time was simple  that wound was sacred
