I guess
I should remember
the curve of your cheek
the reach of your arms
the pitch of your voice.
I remember
the imprint of your fingers
against my thigh, rising scarlet.
I remember
the strident screech
that foretold your speeches
about the unfairness of life.
I remember
the flash of your eyes
the thud of the door
being poor.
I guess
I remember
you.

That disclaimer at the end elicited a sigh of relief, then a fallen heart because it rings true for others.
Absolutely. Millions of others. 😦
The strident screech would be a sign that we needed to break out the earplugs. 🙂
Indeed.
