I want to squeeze you into a memory, one
Trap you in my brain
Replay over and over again
I do not want images of you
Scattered, like dust on a windy day
It blurs my vision and makes my eyes water
If you can fit in the palm of my hand
Like a coin, a key, a ring
I will grasp you tight and never let go
I’d like to describe you in a word
Monosyllabic, simple, you—
So I don’t have to think twice
