I can't remember what my memories were
Like watching the color wash out of ice:
envelope dusted with pollen
song, grey matter, pillow doused with water
all night pacing in the room, blue walls
shutters, lamprey, sunlit mall
M in the night sky, carousel, maw of grotto
smokey kitchen, grass stain, starry-eyed
seeing a movie for a chance to sleep,
dogs on the sidewalk, fire-escape, window sash,
cravats they're called, bud lite,
window air-conditioner on remote control,
pocket dictionary, roman religions, lemon trees,
lunch on the floor of the student lounge,
an entire school of 70,000 alone together,
cracked plastic poster frame,
vodka bottle dropped in stairwell,
two voices in the shower,
shoes like tar, 4 AM, double-digit paycheck,
mehndi for the stage production, black box, risers,
day-and-night shooting schedules,
diving with manta ray, low air tank, slapped in the forehead
three-quarter guitar, sick day, zinc,
white cigarette, red light, dark-eyed girl,
pellet rifle for the poisonous frog
sunday church, 11 AM, grand piano, guitar, pipe organ
mangroves by canoe, bioluminescence
confirmation, passion play, crying girls,
boxer's fracture, salvia,
phone ringing in the head,
seven years,
dry county, house band, wind weaving through three open doors
