DISSOCIATED MEMORIES

I savor simple early

childhood experiences

like licking cold butter

off of a butter knife

life’s complexities

counteracted by

the invocation of

such childhood memories ---

the aftermath of a lover’s spat

reconciled by recollections

of the little girl next door

our hands clenched

watching a red sunset

on a hot summer day.
