Memories 4 Sale By Timothy Resau

We all have memories we want to sell

or have already sold.

Here’s a bag of costly memories:

Starry nights under a June sky—

The Pacific at Big Sur, where a full moon

lingered & is still in my mind—

A glove of love from an abandoned chest—

A childhood of silent screams,

barroom glasses of spilt gin & tonics.

               

            Memphis, Tenn.
