Childhood

It involved horses and a house we thought haunted but only an old woman lived there who could not speak English. It involved a favorite bicycle and certain tree-lined streets and lost chances and the rustle of the leaves on a hot dry day. It involved building a fort in the woods behind the cemetery and wind chimes tinkling on a distant porch. Other than that we're not sure anything else is worth mentioning. Other than that we're not sure what else to say. Other than that we are going to keep our mouths shut. Other than that we are going to let the cat from next door walk leisurely through the brown yard with the mouse tail dangling from its mouth.
