Poem: First Valentine’s Day Back Together

On this day,

First year we got back together, 

I wore a short black silk dress 

with a vintage belt

And Valentino boots 

The once you like

my arms were bare 

but of course I had to wear tights,

And oh, I hate them tights, but

It is February after all, - I remembered out loud,

Looking out the window at the snowy landscape

While setting the table 

Women remember those things,

You replied generalizing 

Dates, Valentine days, bare shoulders

and black silk dresses

There was nothing generic

In the way I felt

All rock n roll 

Free and sexy

And happy

And chosen 

On that generic holiday 

The year we got back together
