Hunter

At 5 they met on the hill between their houses. Baked mud cakes. Lip-synced to Rick Springfield. Buried Froggy 1 and 2 with dandelions. At 10 they built a fort, their first home, in the trees. At 15 they went as cousins for Halloween. At 20 the earth shook, separating them. At 40 they found each other living one mile apart. They meet on a new hill. Remembering how it was. Deciding how it will be. Forever friends.
