Sets: set 2 - Birthday Ribbons - Day Four
"1-14-77 teal" How I could run & skate, tease the winds, yet not until competing was a lie test my gift 100 yards! How confess & confess until ears scream, yet breathe so little of who I am! born into Fond du Lac (unfit to smile) to godly parents, even if to a mom too gentle & a dad too firm: Take me for a conservative guy: often enough a demanding encounter closes me though I want to say I love you love love you with ringing arms & deep-tongued eyes, hold you with entrancing kisses, though I surge inside: the arms so slightly rising, the half- smile, the corny phrase: And we climbed with Bobby's kite, climbed & climbed, until it seemed our climbing would never end though we knew how tense the strain on the curved string: the exalting & exalted kite finally found by the railroad tracks over half-a-mile away:
