the boy

summer breezes blow hot in the south

daylilies wilted to the ground yellow and brown and curled

far away

from his grandmother

the boy walks the mountainsides with boys in blue, tan and green

'cause that is what boys do

they climb hills, pitch tents and cook their own food

carving out their manhood one warm day at a time

grandmothers stay home

thinking of long ago vacations

a favorite tree, the muffin lady and breakfast on the beach

going, going gone the outline of the man grows

right before her eyes.
