oh sweet nostalgia were you listening
when i laid down & sang my memories to sleep
oh little used to be were you still waiting for me
while i walk in shadows of present
& run from future's heat
oh darling yesterday
why did you go away
must you waste time
when all i asked was for you to stay
oh blissful dream can you imagine
you & i
in a life of looking back, could you fathom?
a world of magic, if you'd believe
above much stronger things—in me

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
