Two Facebook updates // Jeremy Hight

want to be that old torn photo you carry......that once red hot girder firmly cooling in that foundation of the building we pass day to day.......to be that hillside that holds and lets go of both fire and floods......to be that bit of road that holds firm......is there ....a there both near invisible and ever present..

Youth, you distant roar on a road just out of view, I still hear you so clear. I hear you in engines of cars on other roads, in the spin of tires heading in other directions from here. I hear you in rivers passing over dull stones and in the silence of the latest hours when I should be asleep. I hear you in children outside the window and in the excited plans crashing onto the shores of this middle age
