Classic Poem

Almond lemon gritty on the tongue,
--TIMES LONG AGO WILL PRESENT
A SPECIAL TREASURE TO YOU--
A moment whole again?
To see more clearly, Trudi, 17,
washing in the Woodland Valley
stream. Tamey,
giving me another nickel
to play pinball.
Barbara's smile, wanting a child.
My grandfather's arm, levering
a floor board, skin hanging
from his biceps cord,
holding while I nailed.
So many treasures I can't quite see.
