reclaiming the letter double-you: a memory

Walk with W in marigold, MS
backyard smoke BBQ
then a walk -
he got covered with fleas --
I didn't --
saw much from that trip
a woman who worked in a factory -
right there, in Marigold

well, mostly, I wanted to write about
those fleas - how they landed on W
and not one me

I loved him
I love him to this day

what an extraordinary [notes illegible]

He showed me the Gate of Elvis (at dawn)
in Memphis
