after the discovery of the
broken basement window
she found me in the kitchen
she was not one to cook meals
unfortunately i left
my recipes at home
she made irish coffee knowing
i would welcome a cup
the plan was futile
and yet the dress she wore
was designed to turn heads
this was always her strength
watching her walk across the floor
proved to be distracting
i poured in way too much cream
her motions flirted with the past
as i dwelt in the eternal light
of her memory-making smile.
