2011-43

In a grocery store in
Texas, I catch the scent
of lavender from the boxes
of laundry soap.

We were 18 and 20,
we spent every dime on
those tickets. I remember
England as sunny and
green, the scratchy
stiffness of the cheap
sheets, love-making in a hot
hotel room more old than
quaint. We spent one bright
Saturday walking hand in
hand, through fields of endless
lavender. I remember too, that
going home hurt worse
than leaving
you.
