LEAF
imprint
remembered

on the school sidewalk
concrete, yet transcendent  
she gave this rare gift to me 

"one moment can live forever"

Thanks Andrea, when I was 15, a girl (still my friend) pointed out the imprint, and said she thinks of it as hers, I takes note every time she passes - and then I did the same, so I thought it now belonged to me also. It's true, but I bet she forgot about the leaf - lol.

I love the short poem contests that have rules and constraints that make them puzzle-like.
