Going downhill..
It was just a glimpse but I
Saw us standing ‘cross the road
He was embracing her tight
Just the way that I would fold
Dappled in the noonday light,
Steepled in the buildings’ shade
While we walked the other side
The same love but hunched and aged
Years are but just one upside
Of a relationship that grew
Like a vine, with lives entwined
Within the hearts of me and you..
From glowing to a little blind
Running free to joint joint pains
From babies to chubby grand kids
Living our childhoods again.
And just like that, they were seated
Honeymoons and bags and pills
Past and present, smiling on a
Tram slowly rolling downhill…
