I Remember
Location
I remember being showered in the wilderness by
hot embers from a blazing fire sent into the air
by an exploding can of cream-style corn.
I remember the forest with trees so thick and
tangled the ground was painted with one big,
cold shadow.
I remember playing with the skin that hung from
my grandma's arm and being told not to do it again.
I remember being pulled in a little red wagon,
watching the leaves flutter on the trees.
I remember my sister stealing a banana from
home and running away on her blue bike, up the
road.
