to fall in love with it all again—
with the orange sun
bobbing
sweet and citrus in the
chlorinated sky
or a bus ride
skin kissing on hard plastic seat
to remember
like candy
the taste of a good dream
in your mouth
to have the good things remain
to have the good things conquer
maybe this is worth the wait
worth the spinning of circles
to spin yourself
like spools of human thread
around bone straining, breaking against
sweaty grip
a touch that
opens up a galaxy
two fingers at a time
click &
open
for these things i try
harder not to forget
