Whispers from the pavement
Dredge up bygones laid to rest
Like bricks upon the travelled dust of roads, hemmed in and paved
For once we danced and loved and raved
And braved a sunset tryst in lilac cove
Another in a shady forest grove
And then the sun set upon our hearts
For worlds have come and grown between us
Pushing you to him
And me from her
For once our love could have been
A virulent, lovely growth
Of vine and florid hope
But Summer loves are Autumn corpse
Winter memories
Spring lessons
And Summer reveries
Left with nothing but a fencepost, a tree reminder
And whispers from the pavement
