simmering

Written By Eugenia Pozas

i just think that anywhere i am,

i should be at the park instead,

watching the children of sunlight

slipping down the slides of

green leaves.

what a playground life is.

your memories seesaw,

and you don’t remember

which ones are up

and which ones are down.

there is one i recognize

in full upswing:

a red notebook sitting

on my legs, dawn peeking

through its pages. i was

on this bench, and i was

loving you.
