Memory

Memory

before she

knows

what love is

she colors it

red

before she

writes

a sentence

she scribbles

an EKG line

before she

says

a word

she’s taking in

the rays

how a raindrop

f    

    a

         l 

    l

    s

what the wind

can do

where snowflakes

go

how a candle

burns

how after a wish

the smoke

drifts

TL
