I needed gianp to offer me an opinion on this, so I had to have a place to stick it. :) Y'all can read it if you want; it's for meg. She's eighteen tomorrow.


dear meg

dear meg I remember you,
round-eyed owl  in the sunshine
over my shoulder

dear meg I remember you in the dark
& I couldn’t see you smile
or cry

dear meg do you remember
(oh so so so long ago ago ago)
finding shells on the beach

dear meg do you remember
waiting for your bus to come we
swapped songs and poetry

dear meg do you remember
casual cruelties because you will always come back to us
and this I know

:

dear meg I remember being short in hair, short in height
yours long and longer; do you remember how an elevenyearold
watches hair?

dear meg we complete each other’s sentences
I know you so well I hear you in my head--

we have had great fights in there that you will never know about;
dear meg I remember understanding & sometimes not;

dear meg I remember
I remember me and you.

If it's one thing that I regret (but it certainly was not my fault) is leaving friends behind for a new home. Damn the transient military life as a child. I would loved to have a friend for years and years and years..... consequently, I left many great friends behind. When I was younger I didn't really have a negative reaction to moving. I only remember hearing, from a friend in Wichita, Kansas, about the "great white sharks" in California and their ominous dorsal fin. Now negativity is all I have these days. Especially that very last move with my parents from Santa Clara...

Well done.

:( It seems tactless to agree, but I can imagine how much that would suck. I never attended primary school except for one year, and I've only been to the one secondary school, but even than you can lose people... moving away completely must be even harder. :(

:) Thanks.
