silent partner

in the sun they walked slowly, over that most round hill, over the empty hole where the maypole once stood, where a man came back to life quickly, back on a spring evening. but now it is summer and they walk hand in hand, down toward the water. do you remember she asks and looks at her companion's face. when we were here before, dancing, drunk, rolling, running, playing... a shake of the head.

how can you have forgotten? a blank stare.

and we run out of here and up the steps and into the house and onto the roof and see the soaring orange lights cozy in our sleeping bad and i look at your face and i ask do you remember? when we cuddled here with the great wide avenue of lights and magic welding cables to our hearts and sucking and filling like some special pumping plumbing system for hearts... a slight nod, a slight smile, and a shake of the head.

how can you have forgotten? and we giggle.

so then they moved and moved again and landed and still ready themselves to keep moving because it is never(ever) ending and always beginning like sky magic.
