north beach, san francisco
before we left home
you said the streets
here would flow
with gold.
you told us
we could keep our names
if we wanted
& then you changed
them.
you promised
we would go back
every year
remember every word
we heard
thru the walls & waters
of the womb
you never mentioned
that memory works
like a cranky camera:
chaos of stops
& starts
awkward stills
drained of warmth
the sepia of desire
dulled.
