Dirty Ground

Oh I remember

Summer in November

When bogeymen could be fought

Later

We sat out

Dirty ground

Old friend

New love

Just found

Was November

I blinked

September

Back where we were

Our spot

On the sidewalk

We shared stories

Shared aches

Shared smokes

And mistakes

The night just went on

So we went along

Last we were young

Our song

Was sung

With our one lung

Cool-ish

And foolish

Then our song

Went unsung

Our drinks

Were strong

Our nights

So long

So we went along

There where we belong

The night

Turned to dawn

And now

We’re gone
