Reconstruction

reconstruction

recalling  much less than half i wrote 
though long ago and miles remote 
i remember when 
an old black  man 
walks out from his shack 
to fetch his kids' dead kitty cat 
then walks back 
as I pass by 
and glancing up see his eye 
meet mine in the mirror  and with a sigh
watching end to end  
as i round the bend 
miss him move again  
for we are all now and then 
once for all gone with the wind
