For Cheryl

Twenty-first century business suit with

eyelet white blouse—

like the red-plaid dress & camel-hair

coat you couldn’t wait to wear

back in third grade. The marble notebook you

carried close to your heart. Yellow sharpened

pencils.

Mother’s apron,

the bread box, turkey sandwiches wrapped

in waxed paper. Knee highs, penny loafers. School

days—

We are still there. Blue sky

wider.
