Long Time Ago

From his Seniors' Home
window an aged man smiles

remembers being
a kid of twelve, stepping
over limbs beside the creek

blue eyes still bright and
inquiring, an eager boy under
wrinkles of flesh

speckled trout, sweet
smells of summer calling--

twitch in his willow pole,
clunker of a catch
mouthing the dew worm

ma noticing well-traveled jeans,
"Need washin'," always said

mud-caked from sunny
days on old Ogden's Creek.

Memories, never shy away.
