They Who Live in the Long Ago

They gather in vivid memory

family of yore

wearing their youth like street clothes 

there were no family pets in that time

maybe a vague cat but 

allergies had their rules


There was no music 

my own sound track

played on a silver transistor radio

Interrupted by the bad news of the day


The agile mind perches precariously 

peering across the chasm of decades

brought back in time by falling water

long fountain droplets

coffee of morning 

rich foamy cup barely sweetened 

taste of home 

gladdened by dogs eager for the fancy blue sky

music playing titled

“Not enough memories”

all this makes me think on shapes of clouds like earthly things

here on the cusp of the day
