Let It Be Me by Ray LaMontagne

breathless

days and hours   later
my hands

still smell
of orange

my fingers
flicker like

paper birds (into my hair)

and as they pass
they are
your eyes,

like somebody
who is lost.

smelling like vanilla
i saw

your dad today   he

was pouring coffee
and it

made me remember
the food,
and the back of your

head
with its plumage   i

used to hold it inside mine, but

then it flew
away...
