Vreski Warding System #6

Work continues apace - after much swearing and the ripping of heads from chickens, I finally managed to get Facebook talking to my website.

And now for a first stab at the pretty-pretties ...

  1. Old friends, old friends, sat on a park bench like bookends
    a newspaper blows through the cracks, falls on the round

    toe, of the high shoe, of the old friends, winter companions
    the old men, lost in their overcoats waiting for the sun,

    sounds of the city sifting through trees, settles like dust
    on the shoulders of the old friends. Can you imagine us

    years from today, sharing a park bench quietly, how terribly
    strange to be seventy, old friends, memories brushing

    the same year, silently sharing the same fears, time it was
    and what a time it was, it was a time of innocence

    a time of confidences, long ago it must be, I have a photo-
    graph, preserve your memories they’re all that’s left you.
