Memory Bottles
There is a shelf in your house with bottles of all your memories you've wanted to save for later consumption. If you could open one and drink it to relive that memory now, which one would you open.
yellow is my favorite color
It’s a bottle of grenadine - sweet like spring.
It tastes like the cherry soda they serve at Goolrick’s.
Downtown. We were 21, walking through the cemetery.
It was Wednesday.
Me and Sean and Carolyn and Courtney.
We talked about picking out plots there to be buried together
in the least morbid way you can talk about death.
The sun still shines brightly, casts yellow rays upon us.
We are still alive, so alive, more alive than yesterday.
Downtown. we browsed the antique shops, picked out dresses for imaginary occasions.
I bought that seashell purse.
It’s black and beaded.
We took the long way home, didn’t go through the cemetery.
I think I wore yellow that day.
