Folded
By Nicole Yurcaba

I hope you never forget the poems I penned for you,
and if you ever cease to remember
may one of the three you secretly keep
  –folded small and square, tucked into your battered leather wallet–

fall upon gray gravels at your worn out Wolverine workboots.

  Say to yourself, as you bend in retrieval,
   “She loved me urgently; she seduced me with words.”
