May 2015
A State of Alarm
The question was raised
In the morning sun;
The coffee was on.
I remember.
The window over the sink
Was open, the curtains flapped
In your face.
You remember.
I saw the fine hairs
Through your sleeves,
Same as you,
I was teased.
We remember.
You asked if I was leaving:
The answer given
Seemed to please.
You remember.
I remember.
The pets remember.
My universe won't
Let me forget.
We wrapped-up
In our arms;
Turned off the coffee,
Re-set the alarm.
*Je me souviens.
Je me souviens: I remember. The official motto of Quebec.
