Walk Through the Park
Walk through the park
pass those same playgrounds
where we reveled way back when
listen to the sounds
children singing innocence
what has happened
since
then.

Visit the swing set
a new winter’s air
pump yourself ‘head
and fly through the air
swinging away from innocence
what will happen
since
then.

Approaching Darkness
sprinkling summer afternoons
give way to cold winter nights
nude vivacious children
replaced by debased zombies

Park yields to dark
The night of our lives.
