a sensational poem

First Place in Sensational II Challenge
Nicole Rifkin, illustrator: https://www.reformforest.com/

A finger scratches on a guitar string and abruptly I remember

how the sunlight unzipped your peridot eyes under dappled summer leaves

the calluses under your fingers under mine the

French vanilla coffee I drank to impress you just in case I kissed you

and the hot black asphalt we wore that summer as perfume.
