7/30

Good memories
live here 
too

among the dark corners
and dusty turrets
of Addams like mind-mansion

Good memories
worth shedding  
time machine tears over

surprisingly sunny days
spent in cool pool of
mother's sister

laughing cousins
Marco! Polo!
jumping in and taking off

chilly afternoons spent curled 
up with favorite novel
reminder of not being the only one

Good memories of 
brothers and sister
before the truth set in

summer nights at dusk
as records spin and inspire
sitting on roof top dreaming

middle of the day July thunderstorms 
when the sky would turn bright pink and purple
afterwards, when we dried from our rain dances

Cool evenings in front of fire pit
friends sing along to steel strings being strummed
mother ganja warming us all from inside

foggy windows of car
hidden deep in local park's trees
the air sweating with our lust

late night phone calls 
revealing who we really were
before we thought to do so online

hilariously grimy moments
I should dust off a little more often
even though I hate to clean

Good memories
live here 
too
