How We Might Have Become

I’ll tell you about

the creeks we crossed-

calloused feet on 

pebbles w/ sharp

edges 

our tender skin

demarcated with

our wistful dreams 

I’ll tell you one day

those creeks dried up

and only we remembered

the rush on endless

summer days 

how we might

have become

anything
