I started with the photograph; then it was suddenly 1988 again.
Waves, brittle
between hot sun
and infertile earth
Refraction
Reformation
Remember that one summer
at the cabin across the bridge?
High and low
under similar conditions
A weekend
desire poured forth
before retreating
behind memory lines
left wanting
Did she believe
that was me?
Perhaps my doubt
carried the day
It had a way
Waves and long hot summers
wandering currents
between salt and sand
