Paris is burning, hypnotized, majestic spire plummets to earth.

Kimberly Hilton Poem
I remember lying in the midday sun
Body slathered with Johnson’s baby oil,
I was almost fifteen and barely needed to shave.
I remember my mother in the yard
Telling me to come in because
“You know you’ll only get burned.”
I remember our ride to the dance
A red 1964 Ford Galaxie 500
You spent hours fixing it up while I sat nearby.
I remember my baby blue dress
your tux with ruffled shirt to match
a blue boutonniere and a wrist corsage for me.
I remember the prom’s theme
“We’ve Got Tonight” by Bob Seger.
Who needs tomorrow?
I remember you only wanted to slow dance
but I didn’t argue
I was happy just to be close to you.
What I don’t remember is how it all ended
“Let’s make it last, let’s find a way.”
It seems Seger was wrong after all.
