It's possible it was snowy when we met,
Maybe she was wearing a grey coat with a
bright red scarf
Somebody said she liked to drink coffee
mixed with strawberry milk
I can't believe that could be true
I had a friend who said she would run up and down stairs
singing hymns on Sunday morning
because she felt not enough people went to church
My cousins said she took kites to the park on Spring weekends
then gave away them away to any child who held onto their strings
stretched way over their heads as the wind tugged on their arms
All of that feels like a fairy tale
I don't remember any of it.
