i remember childhood
like i forget most moments,
something
is always missing
like every autumn
i'd go upstate
to pin ornaments onto trees
like they were war veterans who lost their feet
and rake
stockpiles of leaves
(i can hear their tiny spines breaking)
the ground crackled
because i walked on fire
it was easy
it smelt stale
i recall the fall
in mounds.
i never landed .
i remember floating.
