Keepsake Parakeet

As a token of my esteem

in remembrance of the day,

You showed me the color

of the tears.

*

And I, studying the camera

Wearing glasses, thinking:

“I should have done this

earlier.”

*

I don’t have to develop the film

To see the pictures,

Or dig deep

in an album of memory.

*

All is required

Is what one has to revive,

I know where I stand,

Now time to

Let the past buried in sand.
