the forest evoking memories - v2

the forest evoking memories - v2

a cascade of images, of memory

tastes even, something tangible,

seeing the snow on the branches

the deep green and the white

as we drive by, but

the forest evoking memories

of fifty year ago

when we were skiing as a family

so much memory, in those moments,

the smell of the hot wax, the glister,

the jockeying in the main lodges,

burning my mouth on hot chocolate,

the Colombo yogurts, music overhead,

the wood fires, saltines in my chili,

riding the lifts as a single, jumping the lines,

climbing up into the forests, on the chairlifts,

covered with white, with snow.
