A Rainbow Memory

When my hollow present blows
The dying embers in the heart grate
A fond childish Cinders glows up

The frozen black memory melts past colours,
A sparkle of rainbow recollections,
As I walk up on our trodden pavement
I saw a slash of sea between houses

Thy red dress like a bright red boat
Sink in golden sand, blue fishing nets
Brown fort walls, green lichen beach,
My soul speaks, my lips moves
A frequency of meetings, a wave of hugs

As I net to catch these moments
Like A street urchin’s yellow fists
Holding the rainbow in his tiny grasp
