Petals Between Pages

Devon Webb

Like petals between pages I keep 

memories of you beautiful 

preserved through the pressing hands of time 

retaining shape 

you fade in vivid colour 

I remember your softness 

I tuck it away in my head 

to slip upon in surprising moments 

a gift from an old lover.
