s. j. welker | fifty years on

 


fifty years on 


looking back on it 

after all these years  

remembering summer swims  

remembering campfires and sandbars 

you and i were secret agents once   

following imaginary maps    

running through backyards 

after imaginary spies      

never realizing time was short 

keeping our secret code secret   

jotting down notes   

only we could decipher    

hiding them in long forgotten places    

never realizing time was short   

such a long time since we were secret agents     

on moonlit summer nights       

never realizing time was short
