That summer of 2012
my child
like hands
were lost
Wandering
for something to hold,
But all I had that summer was
my bike
This summer
I found
someone
to ride with
I remember
riding as fast as
I could
just to keep up
I would ride
hill after hill
just like a bird
of the eventide
With every ascent
I would inch closer
to the radiant sun
I wanted
a long ride
but they gave me
a test drive
I still look at
my hands
and remember
all the late rides
The dry summer
wind blowing
through my hair,
But the ride is over now

He was still alive. One day, someone took the eel out of the fish tank, so the old man lost his eel. The old man said, “Oh no! The eel is lost now. Oh great, my eel is gone.”
