Tobogganing

I pull you alongside
memories
piled in the old toboggan
a blanket
a broken flask
chocolate stained knees
and fingers freeze;
holding the short straw
tightly to the chest
down the deserted hillside
faster and faster
,on the skid,

I pulled you alongside
memories
piled in an old toboggan
up a deserted hillside
to the summit
that never were.
