school reunion (Free verse) by irishfolksuicide
Sorry but I am unable to come
To reminisce
By the severed oak trunks
That sheltered our youth, once
Please accept my apologies
Lay this wreath of daisies
Let it forgive me
In my absence
Perhaps where I once sat
Alone and outcast
Among dead headed bells
And brown trampled grass
That told me their day
The same as the last
Starkness, a wintry crown
Bald elipses drawing around
The stillness of lilies, of peace
In the pond facing down
I have moved on
Found shelter again
In trees proudly hung
(Till withered to stump)
Again I am sorry
But I am unable to come
