Remember
Remember

I remember you
Waiting for the Butterfield train
And the gothic rooftop
With the weathervane
And the chaos and the clatter
As the train pulled in the station
How you never looked away
From our silent conversation

I remember you
By the Little Dove
Crickets singing
Under a thousand stars, love
You unbutton your shirt,
Feel the first warm wind
Walk naked into the water,
I follow you in

I remember you - I remember you
In a quiet room - When the crocus bloomed
At an old oak table - And the sugar maple
Writing prose - Filled with crows
I brought you a whisky -I took your picture
And a piece of cake - Underneath the apple tree
And we laughed at contradictions - Gave you an arrowhead and said
In the choices we make - “Remember me”
