Betsy Winters

  I try drawing you from  old memories
  but can't get your eyes right. I don't see
  the body that destroyed my earnest vows.
  I can't see your warm young breasts and
  nipples that grew so hard by my caress.
  I can't see us dancing naked in the dark.
  I wish I'd kept the photos. I cremated us
  in an ashtray and I can't see us anymore.
