i found her

Falstaff · Dec 26, 2008, 04:23 PM

from the old trunk I pulled out the box of Swisher Sweets.
My name and age I wrote in 1976.

On the lid I read in my careless script
a collection of photographs and print.

A coin, a token, a blurry image from my youth
a memory I had forgotten and spent.

cropped and cut, wrapped in the paper I found
the face of my first love.

She bore the likeness of everything I desired
for a clumsy boy my love was so blind

Our dangerous encounters after school we burned like fire
warm memories now that ease my mind.

Every lover's face that I found never compared
to soft supple firm body, green eyes and golden hair

Of my very first she remains with me now.
a world away, a picture and pressed flower.

And I felt so much better
after all these years
I found her again.
