The sky is sick,
slick and soft with memories.
The blue nectar, waiting
to tumble down, any moment now.
And me?
Well, I am made of memories too.
Sherbet memories,
bitter and brutal,
deranged and drenched,
in a sea of goodbyes,
that sloshes forth
with glamorous glee
but recedes back, equally.
And I don't know if I'll remember to
and so, I write this down.
To give is to grow
and so, I give these frolicking rains
and those misty times
under the pretty skies.
I give the rudimentary grass blades
and the funny-shaped sun.
I give them up for you to have.
And remember, I'll return.
But until then, take care,
as I collect the salty nectar showering
down heavily, from somewhere.
