Forgotten Field of Forever

the field is no longer there    where
all of youth and ego collided and
her first glance was seen   but shied from
all to be born in a thousand recollections

the field is no longer there    where
near dusk I sat    alone    blurring
through November's naked branches
lamenting another summer passed

the field where I killed an attacking tree
sidearm from thirty yards    dead center
no one saw   but no one needed to
it happened

the field is no longer filled with fights and
fun and bragging and just    hanging out
talkin bout how Joe's brother could press a 100
or how Cyndy's boobs were huge    nothing
of importance was left to be conjured

one day I drove away and when I went back
it was gone    but like that smile I shied from
never really    gone
