FIRST CRUSH

First Crush 

Seven decades back 

on our farms 

skipping school 

sleeping in a meadow 

The early years of our lives 

dancing on dirt roads 

swimming in neighbor’s ponds 

sharing lunches 

Then her family moved away 

and she was gone 

The early years may have taken her name 

but they couldn’t take her 

and the long grass 

our childhood was wrapped in
