Singing Cedar Memories

(image sourced from Magpie Tales)

The geometry has tilted,
our eyes slide too fast and too far down,
gravity gets hungrier with the years.
When the body takes a moment to remember
our legs make bruises on the sidewalk.
And when those cold footsteps crest,
we pull that deep red nostalgia beneath us
and slide down on singing cedar memories.
