Reminiscent Stroll

Lonely tonight,
I visit a few
of youth's
old haunts.

The scent of Parliament butts,
pinky laundry,
and worn-out sneakers,
represent a tender time.

The open door
of the old place,
beckoning me towards
drunken roars and Billy Joel.

The hill during first daylight,
after exam completion,
I lit and hit it.

Nostalgic,
I turn away,
and feel a sorrow
deeper than expected.

Returning,
I briefly shutter
from the creaking wind,
as the cold of fall
beginnings to
weave her rainbow
into my own worn fabric.

I was watching some old TV themes on youtube, and the old memories and feelings were unlocked somehow.

Aging gracefully is hard work. Glad you liked the poem.

Yes, but I can't see where you're aging all that much.
