“Do you remember?
It was two-pm,
and the breeze tasted like
a chain-link fence;
you were mending a tear
in your patchwork quilt
while Birdy played from indoors;
and you said,
‘I think I exist in color tones
and in stories which never happened,’

and you pinched off a bit of yourself
to leave it behind
and stay in that moment.”
