Our Love Story

By Michelle Papini

Remember that time when I left the yellow dresser drawer open

And we found sage-scented cloves and bubbles.

Remember that time when we took the bubbles outside and blew them.

The two bubbles cuddled and danced thru the air as if they were in love.

Then they floated into the sky and popped.

Remember that time when we laid out on the grass

Watched the clouds and smoked cigarettes.

One looked like a seashell and another like a boot.

Remember that time when it got dark and we made a fire

That crackled and burned for hours.

Then I sang you a song as if I was your muse.

We shared a tangerine that made you pucker.
