Reunion

In my palms, I hold memories :

A thread of the nylon ribbon

That held your hair in

Two pigtails in class fourth.

A bead from the necklace

That adored your tall slender

Neck on the 10th class

Farewell party.

A yellow frayed torn piece

Of a hand made greeting

That you gave me

On my 18th birthday.

A bubble gum wrapper,

How we spent hours

Chewing, listening to

The boring lectures.

An old movie ticket,

How we bunked

The classes for

The movies.

An old kerchief

That wiped the tears

Of all of us on the

College farewell day.

On this reunion day,

I will gather a few more

Moments for

Another lifetime.
