A Golden Afternoon in 1980

A Golden Afternoon in 1980

I would walk it
with you
I will walk it
with you.

I remember crossing
Monroe Drive
with you
down to Ansley Park.

You giggled as we passed
the Fruit Jungle
at their open love
and welcoming freedom.

Welcoming
the cold wind from the east
our bond
as outsiders.

A long time ago
the new age dawned
grey morning
into cold golden afternoon.

The winter storms
passed us by
here in the Deep South.

Leaving
a beautiful golden
and still wintery
afternoon.

I would walk it
with you
I will walk it
with you.
