Las Flores, El Salvador<\/p>\n
He hashtags #neverleaving and I know he\u2019s there now.
\nWatched as Tommy rides on a canary yellow surfboard,<\/p>\n
back and forth he turns on IG video.<\/p>\n
it\u2019s 2014 like he\u2019s on his skateboard on his childhood driveway<\/p>\n
in younger years \u00a0and I ride by in my car<\/p>\n
as he flips his hair to the side.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201dThe outside was a bit more intense.\u201d<\/p>\n
You\u2019d never know it by his balance.<\/p>\n
Amped is how he appears gliding<\/p>\n
these South American blue waters.<\/p>\n
A year before he bailed his surfboard for heroin.<\/p>\n
Missing a wedding day and waves drowned in sorrow.<\/p>\n
Now Tommy funnels, barrels, backdoors, carves, and curls<\/p>\n
charging with his brothers and his Dad.<\/p>\n
Caught inside this memory<\/p>\n
I chunder in disbelief that he\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
