what year is it
how do I spell my name
what do the flowers and the rain smell like
are there hills in san francisco


are there vowels in a sonnet
or the alphabet

what is anything but you --
for
I
remember
you

amber of your eyes
spring you bring with you
wherever you go

I remember
everything

but
history and grammar
pasts and heartbreaks
fear
death
dying

there you were
and
for a moment
...
the whole ****** dark forgotten
