Ms. Mimi, 1996)(summer '96)
how I wished for
a hendrix note
a sullen base
lush green grass, remembering bare feet
the first time you called my name
letters, on smiling lips forming perfect "ah's"
smooth led on creamy white paradoxes
sunshine grazing on a rain oasis
feeding a reflective moment
the taste of our laughter like taffy
bittersweet on the tongue
an uneaten chocolate kiss, offered
a spray of broken treble and bass notes piled in the corner of a page
the scent of your freshly laundered sweatshirt
the sound of your prodigal voice
the freedom of the wind
soaring into heaven
returning as song
