gathering

I want to gather
the warm memories
scattered across grass

let me bind them
into photo albums
to remember these days

let us watch another 
sunset before darkness 
burst the seams


- Written for dVerse Poetics: Come Sew With Me.  I used the terms "gather" and "seams".  I also borrowed "bind" from "binding".

  5. Memories in photo albums. The brain is sometimes unreliable. Nicely done here.
