Telling Secrets

April 20, 2020

POET-IN-RESIDENT AT RICE HOUSE
DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA MAY, 1995

Telling secrets
and making up stories
on hot summer evenings
with fireflies orchestrating.
So nice not to have to go anywhere -
Just be with the moment.
Then there was capture the flag
and it was the running fast
that was special.
All that was on my mind
was that game.
Nothing else on my mind,
Nothing.
If only my adult life
could be as much fun as camp!!
