               These               vacant               shells               of               once-lived               lives               are               shadows               of               my               past,               reflections               of               years               traversed               through               the               heart               of               Alabama.

I               know               these               hills               and               trees,               and               clapboard               houses               falling               down.

What               the               creeping               passage               of               time               does               not               consume,               the               rush               of               years               will.

And               what               the               rush               of               years               does               not               consume,               the               harsh               heat               of               days               will.

And               what               the               harsh               heat               of               days               does               not               consume,               Kudzu               will.

Until,               the               downward               flowing               years               of               humanity               are               shadows,               and               shadows               of               shadows:               a               rusty               mailbox               with               a               bent               flag,               and               five               black               men               gathered               around               the               stools               of               an               old               service               station.

Were               they               twelve,               they               could               be               the               disciples               with               Jesus               in               the               middle-or               maybe               the               Pharisees               plotting               to               kill               Jesus,               or               maybe               the               left-behind               crowds               who               said,               "What               just               happened?

Was               that               not               the               Son               of               Jesse?",               or               the               Roman               guards               that               said,               "Truly               this               was               the               son               of               God."
               Trees               lean               over               the               two-lane               road               called               Eighty-two:               pine               and               oak,               and               here               and               there               the               changing               elm.

Most               remain               untouched               by               the               early               days               of               southern               autumn.

It               is               October               and               I               wish               it               would               rain               cold               down               on               me.

Behind               me               lies               two               days               in               Opelika,               and               a               year.

Ahead               lies               a               day               in               Tuscaloosa-a               day               and               a               year,               and               two.

Eighteen               years               ago,               I               drove               this               uncertain               path               on               a               day               not               unlike               this-warmer,               less               cloudy,               but               equally               filled               with               the               expectation               of               something               I               could               only               imagine               but               longed               for               nonetheless.
               This               is               me:               I               am               young-as               the               miles               wash               away               the               years               of               travel-a               shower               of               recollection               on               the               train               of               memory.

Next               stop,               college!

Students               played               on               the               quad               as               I               slowly               drove               down               University               Blvd.

There               was               a               volleyball               game;               I               wished               to               play.

There               was               Denny               Chimes;               I               wanted               to               ring               out               as               well-the               caller               of               times               present               and               past,               "All               is               well!

All               is               well!",               and               "Peace.

Peace."
               And               then               there               was               November.

I               drove               home               to               vote               in               the               1992               elections               and               back               in               a               day.

Tara,               Heather,               Brett,               Dan,               Allen,               and               Chris               waited               back               in               Freidman               (and               the               matching               girls               dorm).

The               cold               chill               of               November               rain               gnawed               through               jeans               and               a               paint-stained               canvas               barn               jacket.

I               hated               leaving.

I               hated               in-between               road.
               Then               there               was               the               female               twin,               whose               name               I               forget.

Dark               headed,               and               bright               eyed.

I               didn't               really               know               her.

No,               but               she               was               the               one               who               laughed               one               night               at               a               Southbound               concert,               smiled,               and               hugged               me               goodbye               for               the               summer.

And,               goodbye               forever!

She               died               backing               out               of               her               driveway.

Died,               with               a               hug               and               a               smile               as               a               goodbye...and               now               even               her               name               is               lost.
               Memory               is               like               Old               Testament               prophesies.

There               is               a               shortening               when               looking               backward               as               well               as               forward.

The               music               always               plays               double-time.

The               tangled               threads               of               particular               commonality               intertwine,               confusticate,               and               then               are               gone.
               I               remember...walking               from               Freidman               to               a               dorm               across               campus               on               a               Saturday               for               lunch,               to               eat-hopefully-with               someone               I               knew.


               I               remember...pool               in               the               game               room               off               the               Ferguson               center.

Heidi               and               Camille               were               there.


               I               remember...sitting               in               my               room               during               one               home               game,               listening               out               the               window               to               the               sounds               of               pre-football               ringing               crisp               on               the               cool               September               air.


               I               remember...the               somber               boy-knight               who               stands               guard               over               the               large               study               hall               in               Amelia.


               I               remember               ...jumping               off               of               the               cliffs               that               first               weekend               in               town,               after               standing               scared               for               so               very               long.
               I               remember.

I               remember               and               I               forget.

Shake               the               snow-ball.

Watch               the               world               spin.

Chaos               rages               all               around,               while               Reindeer-or               Santa,               or               the               Eifel               Tower-remain               frozen               in               place.

In               my               ball,               I               stand               frozen               amidst               the               swirl               of               memories.

Snatch               one               out               of               the               air-like               a               furtive               lightening               bug-then               let               it               go               just               as               fast,               before               the               light               goes               out.

A               flake               in               the               hand               is               worth               nothing               compared               to               the               brilliance               of               the               thousand               that               fly               past.
               Just               before               entering               Chilton               County,               a               white               crumbling               lean-too               says,               "The               horn               of               plenty."               There               is               plenty               enough               in               the               old               roads               and               hidden               minds               of               humanity               to               make               the               world               weep               a               billion               years               and               laugh               even               longer,               harder.

For               what:               the               past?

The               past               is               a               fun               place               to               visit.

But               longing               after               all               is               just               longing,               and               the               promise               of               presence               is               a               power               not               easily               overcome.

No,               I               don't               want               to               be               back               here-alone,               insecure,               struggling,               afraid,               more               sad               than               cheered,               and               regularly               melancholic.
               Yes,               the               past               is               a               great               place               to               visit,               but               I               would               never               choose               to               live               there.
               Well-at               least               not               often.
