things in storage
i finished in the honolulu marathon
in 12,756th place and there you are
for all eternity, panting with me
across the finish line
i saved every ticket stub, every
brittle yellow corsage and there
you are smiling dumbly with me,
in front of a chinese lantern backdrop
i left you with the platinum stemware,
the dense weight of my dress, well wishes
of 300 distant relatives and two mirrors
lest you forget where you came from
