as
I
read
her
stories
I
kept
looking
back
at
the
photograph
of
her

how
soon
we
forget
oh
how
soon
we
forget
I
thought
oh
I
thought

you
wouldn't
know
how
I
feel
unless
you'd
heard
roy
sing
blue
bayou

cool
and
sunny
the
mountain
snowy
the
rainbows
came
after
the
rains

I
buy
the
bottle
of
wine
because
there's
wild
horses
on
the
label

I
feel
kinda
depressed
today
so
I'm
imagining
your
kiss

the
pond
where
the
mallards
live
the
rook
that
preens
his
feathers
in
the
rain

that's
the
thing
about
life
and
death
i
said
it
just
keeps
on
happening

baby
I
love
rock
and
roll
so
come
and
take
your
time
and
dance
with
me

- joan jett & the blackhearts

while
the
day
goes
to
sleep
there's
emoji
kisses
from
my
phone
to
yours

the
great
river
gave
itself
to
the
sea
and
the
clouds
watched
with
the
sky

how
I
want
you
to
touch
me
in
the
late
morning
early
afternoon

I've
got
drunk
on
your
voice
in
the
doorway
I
was
sure
you'd
come
back

-anna akhmatova

I
held
the
book
carefully
and
with
great
care
it
was
a
treasure

it's
again
ava
gene's
the
panna
cotta
with
the
pine
cone
syrup

whenever
I
eat
clams
I
think
of
alice
in
wonderland
I
do

I
like
my
eyes
in
that
picture
because
those
eyes
were
looking
at
you

ten
years
ago
I
found
myself
in
reno
marrying
my
best
friend

the
poem
was
about
her
but
I
was
certain
she
wrote
it
for
me

I
wanted
to
fall
into
the
photo
I
cried
because
I
couldn't
