Body Memories

She came
Up for air
With the salt marsh
Of her lover's patch
Smeared
Across her face

The imprint
Of her lover's breast
Still
Filling
Her mouth

With everything
So sweetly
Fused
In her brain
She needn't have wondered
How to call
These
Memories up
At will

Instead

With her lover
Long gone

It was
Impossible
To keep
The
Impressions
Down
