Every giggle and scream
was catalogued on stirrups
by tiny feet once racing
a circle of dreams.
The brand new under
the nothing new sun
claimed its glory until time
pulled the plug and progress
built a bypass.
Those brave enough
to explore shredded whimsy
be wary nostalgia is
a bitter herb when
mixed with regret.
