You stub your toe on the chair
by the piano 
it reminds you of the day
you kissed the girl 
with the velvet eyes 
The cinnamon linger 
short skirt and no undies 
boyhood
the vodka was knockoff 
moonshine made by 
engineers in the basement 
the parents not quite 
what they seemed but 
alive 
no longer 
no longer 
alive
But the memories remain
the girls on the beach 
so sweet 
small bras covering nothing 
I retreat into dreams
of youth 
.
