Free-write Poem
Your 18th Birthday
That night the four of us
Snuck out
under the full moon
We visited the playground
Which we are now too old
To occupy during the day
We each claimed a swing
To fly closer to the moon
A newton’s cradle formed
As I looked across the night
Each one of us
Catching and pacing the other
your old speaker
Rests in the wood chips
Sparking the air with
The sounds of Mac Miller
And songs vibrant with youth
I always found it ironic
That on the day you
Became a man we partied
But that night
We went to the playground
To swing
under the full moon
