memory like molasses
so thick and sweet
boarding a plane that’s carrying me away from me
one night ago
my intentions were clear as a bell
a chime, a sweet smell
our white roses adorned our friends
my preconceptions clutched at me
my predilections brushed by your hair
why come to me again?
why don’t i believe you when
you name what you feel
later on all bundled together
you and i and our lack of pretense
keep explanations at bay til the light hits me askance
