when today begs for yesterdays

when today begs for yesterdays

i wish to be remembered as the babe

who nestled upon

your breasts

to weep

and whom you suckled sweetly

as yours

i wish to be remembered in late mornings

picking my dark thick hair

off of your ambrose body

one

by

one

and releasing them to the ground

where i pray they sprout

into thicktrunked trees

for you to shade yourself

i wish to be remembered as kissing

your belly

filled

dearly

morely

that

holds

one

little

more

and run my hands over your

bumps and creases

until you drift to sleep

when today begs for yesterdays

i wish to be remembered

as remembered

by you
