On A Green

Your memory makes me 
Even though I have forgotten 
          you
Everything in me loved you
Every last bit of me

I remember when you ruined
half of my annual ski days
          all in one day
when I was dumb enough
to insist, I could teach a
Solomon Islander
           On a green

It didn't help that you started
menstruating at the top of 
the ski lift: but at least I can
            blame God.

I remember crawling on 
my knees, with my snowboard
up the mountain,
                     over and over.
I would do anything for you

And I know you learned that
          over and over,
even if you forgot it
on your last day.
Still, I would do anything for 
          you
