polaroid
by Stephanie Kenthe wrote of her as he remembered her when
she touched his arm as she laughed
and one of her curls brushed
her mouth.
she had walked with her face turned
upward, naming the clouds,
her hair framing her
shoulderblades like wings.
her pocket tossed away her favorite blue
glove with the hole in the thumb and
he had rescued it while thinking of
how small it was.
then he remembered she had never seen the sea
and he told himself he must keep it
in his mind to take her the next time a day was
like this. 09/02/2007 Posted on 09/09/2007
