Polaroid -- 1972



Polaroid—1972

My father’s cigarette smoke, blue-tint grey memory.
Pinochle party, cousins playing hide-n-go seek in the skirts of our mothers.
Fondue pots of cheese for vegetables gone limp in the dank air.
Sledding hills and cold breath.
Hot chocolate foamed with marshmallows.
Black hair piled high, brown-eyed mother aching.
Not knowing, not yet.
