I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER

that familiar ache

of running after dragonflies

holding up our skirts

floated

in echoes

only we can hear

so I picked those blooms

you wouldn't know it – not anymore

you ran

leaving a scent

but I will live here,

still chasing our dragonflies.

Author's Notes/Comments:

For Joan, a beautiful cousin and playmate who married early… who died early. I'm a proud godmother of her child. She insisted on it even before she got married.
