Things I Almost Forgot
A list rescued from the edge of forgetting.
The blue cup with the crack near the handle.
The song that played in the bakery every morning for a month.
The exact green of the hill after rain, when even the weeds looked appointed to something.
The way my grandmother folded receipts into tiny squares before putting them in her purse.
The envelope I never opened because I already knew what it said.
The first apartment, and how the windows rattled whenever buses passed.
The person on the night bus who offered me a mint and then looked embarrassed by their own kindness.
The sentence I wrote down and lost, which is probably why it stayed beautiful.
