none of this land is ours
we climbed the hill in laughter
losing our lunch boxes along the way
certain we’d be able to
find them on the way down
once on top we jumped at
pretend stars shining so bright
shouting into funneled hands
for the gods to strike us down
imagining owning all the hills
as far as the eye could see
the bad guys appeared out of thin air
and sent us tumbling
all the way back down
october two thousand fourteen

Thank you my friend, thank you.
Brings back memories of playing king of the hill as a child.
yes that is what I thought starting out – a fleeting moment – thank you for commenting….
