Unforgettable

Memories:
   Cling like burrs
   Stain like blackberry juice
   Snapshots, saved and savored
   Constellations on an inner sky

Each:
   Arc of river in valley
   Child's crib, earring sparkle
   Glimpse of thigh, splash of blood
   Thunderclap startle, glance, wink

Unique:
   Touch, blush, tickle
  Proudly pregnant belly
   Cantilevered arc
   Taste of chocolate

Always:
   Fire glow, eagle talon,
   Rump curve, hair flounce
   Silence, heart-pounding fear
   Perfect invitation

Echoes:
   Cupped in the hands
   Like a baby bird

Forever
