R E M Remember

she has sent
me so many
photographs

some i see
to cry others
i want to laugh

but she sent me
one hundred but 
truly three times that

when i want a look
i don't pick and choose
i spin them as a rolodex

i never know what 
the heck to expect
i open them then

review

but the most i've
found perhaps
profound

those photos
oh so relaxed
and readying

to sleep
i hold
dear

to my heart
and keep
my own

she seems 
eyes closed
tight and always


sleeping
