My inspiration for the poem came from a poem Chris and I wrote together earlier this week (it hasn't been posted before):
I light a candle
and in its flutter
open folded envelopes
pieces of my past
shadows in the dancing flame
take me back
A mirror dark
lights up as I dance
a child with ringlets
bouncing
When I hear songs,
recorded memories
spinning fables
once forgotten
From my hands
they fly, new stories
sing in my mind
still undiscovered
and I rejoice
in the freedom found
in the flickering fire

I light a candle and in its flutter
open envelopes,
each one holds a piece of your past
I make old stories fly.
A child's ringlets
bounce in a mirror
new shoes skip
ten to two
eleven
three
Lip-gloss, eye-liner, braided hair
strapless dress, stilettos
brisk kisses in low-lit alleys.
Recorded memories
for your eager ears
And I see your freedom dance
in a last flicker.
