I Don’t Remember…
by Ash L Bennett
I don’t remember, any more,
The exact shape of your hands
As I held them in mine,
Caressed them,
Memorized the length of your fingers,
The depth of your calluses.I don’t remember, any more,
Exactly your height, how much
Taller than me You were, where
My head rested on your chest
When you held me tightly close.
I don’t remember, any more,
Your scent, when we lay together
Creating our own Magic rhythm,
Matching our heartbeats as we
Touched the sky, together.I don’t remember, any more,
The sound of your voice, calling
My name as though It were a song
Within itself, a precious treasure
You valued with all your being.And I don’t remember, any more,
The color of your eyes, the shape
Of your lips,
Only… How your eyes crinkled at the corners
And your laugh, as you told me, ”I love you.”by Ash L. Bennett, 2011

"we heard that rice expands, exploding pigeons, so we mixed them some rice and glitter, and held hands in the park."

"…recite the list
of what you’ve learned to do without.
It is stronger than prayer."

Can I come to your house?
I’m caught in the ropes and the wires
The sun settles hard in the south
Winter lives in my bones
It’s all I’ve ever known.
