The Past is Still There -- Deborah Garrison

(Poem #5)The Past is Still There
 I've forgotten so much.
 What it felt like back then,
 what we said to each other.
 
 But sometimes when I'm standing
 at the kitchen counter after dinner
 and I look out the window at the dark
 
 thinking of nothing,
 something swims up.
 Tonight this:
 
 your laughing into my mouth
 as you were trying 
 to kiss me.
-- Deborah Garrison
