Poem for Thursday, May 6, 2010


Things I Won't Forget

the smell of department stores

the name of my favorite teacher

every time I bloomed in autumn
(you lingered until the end
of springtime then left)

my first bumpy driving lesson

the taste of busted-lip blood

every time I shriveled in winter
(you forgot me a little more
with each new forget-me-not)

how the seasons come and go

and

the smell of department stores
(of course)
