St. Helena
Jun 1st, 2007 by Alison
You cannot remember where you have never been.
But they are there
Those same trees, the cabin, the bed where you would make love
On an afternoon of honey-making
There is a corner
In a wine country village
Where street signs cross
Spelling your maiden name
You would go there together
And wonder about a person you once were
And who you might become
If this memory of a time you never spent
Honey-making
Were to become brittle fact.
But what you fear
Is lack of chance
The street signs are there
But what were the odds they would spell your name?
