Last Night

Last night
I took back a piece
of the past
touched it, held it
savored it
put a sparkle-cap on my memories
and forced them back to life.

You think
that you remember something
the way it looks, or tastes
the way it makes you feel,
you think you could never forget
something so good.

But on the way back around
you find that the fire
is so much hotter
the possession so much more intense
than you'd let yourself believe
and you remember then
why it was so hard to let go
in the first place.
