Nothing but a Keepsake
On a glorious day
like today
I really have no idea
What I might
prefer to be doing
Other than
what I am doing
right now
and right here
and with you …
But if it hadn’t all
gone quite
so terribly wrong
We would surely
have
done it long ago ..
And the Caribbean
would almost
certainly be a glorious
sea of memories
Instead of just
a faded postcard
saved
in a broken keepsake
box
upon a dusty
mantle shelf somewhere
