remember the postcard i got from you

a portrait of the bay of maya

the one dripping in shades of blue  

now engulfed in stone-cold fire


flames licking the photo to ashes

the bay of maya turns to black

memories come fast in flashes

moments never coming back


it all comes at me all at once

and i pinch the flames away

no more i can see its brilliance

of the postcard you gave away
