Dog-eared Memory

 

Your face distorted

through the rain-running glass;

shop lights

flowing down your hair and shoulders;

the harsh neons,

the dull tungsten tea-coloured;

Main Street mermaid circa 1967,

the town a cascading shawl.


When I search through the files,

the dog-eared memories; thumb right through

to the darkest corners of my mind,

that’s all I can find of you.
