Sarah A. Chavez: Dear Carole, I look out the window

September 6, 2022 by PBQ Leave a Comment

Hoping the reflection

of the sun will glint

off my hair, flood

your ghost memory,

and you will

feel the tingling

touch of my fingers

on your phantom limbs

and remember

you meant to haunt me.

That you’ll remember

despite the door-slamming

and lips of so many

others, neither of us

wanted this.
