The white quarter socks with pink flowers in the bottom corner of my dresser (grey now) The brown rope hammock at the Botanical Gardens College dorms April Blue light glasses UPS Trucks (and whatever they’re carrying) Dark flannels Pink and navy and gold (and cinderblock walls) Magic mushrooms The bridge halfway down at Max Patch (the beginning of the end) Electric bills (in summer time heat) Harry Potter Halloween Scoreboards (and their keepers) Psychics in Manhattan   Cheap water bottles Linguists Architects Couch *** Vans (the sneakers) Personality tests Long, natural nails Duffle bags Biscuits at sunrise Living Sadness in a world that doesn’t stop moving, Just because you’re sad Forgiveness on the tip of the tongue The strange intimacy of unspoken truths Of sacred silence Of quiet, forbidden longing   The mad unfurling of a blueish love- A love somewhere between earth and sky Friend and Foe Flame and ash and all that burns Folding a corner Turning a page Finishing a book Keeping it on the shelf Forever,   Even if just for the memory These are the things, The things that make me think of you.
