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
