Sam Byrd
Under the dresser
a small plastic button
uncovered as if
all of the sudden,
Uncovering thoughts
of your burgundy sweater
wrung and pressed, to make
it seem better,
Uncovering dreams
of planes next to this
with sweaters untouched
no buttons amiss.
Alas, on this day
as sun fades to taper
so I fear memories become
evanescent vapor
