The Last Fact About Poetry (2014)

poets have trouble remembering you.

i have no trouble remembering you.

            i remember sunlight streaming through the window,
            infusing dust.
            
                i remember that strong scent of your perfume,
                and your skin.

        i remember your lips, soft, fleeting,
        whispers.

            i remember the sounds of your breath,
            shaking, joyous.

but poets, poets do.
