the breath of an old lover

there must be one more poem
tucked away in that region somewhere,
untapped by this old brain
that loses his car keys, somewhere.....
perhaps that I don't even expect, maybe
next to the accumulating grocery list, ah boy
do I love my lists, or maybe just maybe it's with
that note-to-self about an oil change, there must
be a spot that coddles such things, and merely
needs a nudge to become dislodged, so it tumbles
into the open....I'm sure, It Exists
among perhaps the old memories
that now I'm unsure actually happened
or that calendar with the dates and times
of a million doctor visits, it must be there
somewhere, I Can feel It
like the warm breath of an old lover.....
at least I think I remember that sensation....
