set me out
among the blades
let me soak in the sun
and bask in the haze
of those early days
jumping fences
chasing better fields
green pastures
weathered and blue
minted in time
faded from wanting
missed by waiting
made pale
by loving
anyone
everyone
you

not them joys
blinded by brightness
cracked in the sun
faded with time
or those joys
caught in the throat
springing every step
stopped all tracks
yes these joys
wonderfully complex
magically simple
divinely inspired
and that joy
in the smallest thing
over the next hill
just around the bend
all this joy
quaking the ground
stumbling around
doing stupid things
oh the joys
coming around again

three months now
no reason to call
all you could
you won’t
too many weeks
spent pushing
pulling boots up
wading through the mess
one last time
wandering around
with all your
baseless claims
