Lucy Alexander #5 Avenue of Trees

I imagine, when the time comes,

it will be like walking the avenue of trees

with sun so newly risen

crisp as the point of no return

all of it so known and familiar

to say that I was once a child of this place

where I grew myself  and changed my mind

turning over and never again

because finally the horizon has a limit

and it is here where the leaves

shadow and flick in the breeze

that I could breathe once
