us

I remember the vast openness of Rexburg
The tidy buildings and smell of beginning
Roads white with pressed snow
and us together there

I remember the encompassing closeness of Ashland
Packed with trees and windy streets
Knowing the place that made you
and us together there

I remember the scent of old and new in Lexington
Drenched in charm and possibility
A grip on my changing dreams
and us together there

Fast forward through the pause outside the circle
in a borrowed house

To a place we'll remember
As our first spot of land
A large exhale and inhale of elation
Taking official root; our family to build
and us forever
