From the album "Bellybuttonhole" (2013)

lyrics

FORTY-FIVE

She's 45,
if she's alive –
forever 22 on video –
and fixed, for me,
in memory
as someone whom I'd just had to know.

Last time I'd seen
her now has been
as many years as she was then as old.
I might revise,
or just re-size,
the story any way it might be told.

And if we met
now, I'd forget
the special way she's stayed in memory,
so what's the good
to wish she would
traverse the years and get in touch with me?
