remember me

as that time of day

of smoky quartz twilight

the craggy rims of

grand westbound ranges

tinged with the vestiges

of phoenix feathers and

ambered memories

the sweet smoke

of husky songs and

guitar strings smother

indigo tinged meadows

as the stars awaken

mica speckled skies

lavender clouds

fading to charcoal smears

remember me

as that time of day

of late evening drives

across windmill hills

and dusky highways

your fingers dancing

on faded steering wheels

humming to radio songs

and give me that look

like a smoky hearth

and summertime nights

wildfire autumns

and whirlwinds of reds

as blotted golden fields

on windswept rises

pass by our

amber rimmed windows

blurs of cottonwood

streak the deep indigo

thick charcoal smudges

remember me

as that time of day

where blazing memories

smolder in the dark

as new beginnings

blossom under starlight

illuminating new paths

for better futures without me

'cause i hope that you can

remember me

to let me go
