Year of Writing 54 Golden Gate

2/24/12

Dear Bay Area,

This is how I would remember you,
flushed and luminous.
A golden gate against
an aching blue.
Your breeze a gladful hand
tousling her hair
Your sun, lucent lips
against her cheek.
A pleasant stranger,
a favorite aunt.
This is how I would remember you  -
sky and hills and dirt and sea
each pebbles in my pocket,
each taken home with me.
