Cocktails and a Question

i remember our first meeting…
the cool march morning blending
sweetly with my anticipation-
anxiety cocktail.
a child stepping out for the first time
cocktails quickly shifting to straight
anxiety shots, bitter, unexpected
your rapid fire questions
penetrated my innocent drunken fog.

then our second meeting,
you call it our first, professing
not to remember
the child of six months ago.
creeping into wooden shelter
praying you’d recognize her,
hurt I failed to leave my mark.

words pour our, espousing Aloysha’s
virtues, and your desires
to be the true wind hover.
the child listens, impressed by
by your passion, admiring your dedication
while I scribble pictures,
trying not to care.

it’s funny you call me your little imp
do you know how old I am
this little child is still in me,
you say you like what you see
but if you don’t remember her,
how can you know me?
