I Remember

I remember sky it was blue as ink
Or at least I think i remember sky

I remember snow soft as feathers
Sharp as thumbtacks coming down like lint
And it made you squint
When the wind would blow
And ice, like vinyl, on the streets
Cold as silver, white as sheets
Rain, like strings and changing things
Like leaves

I remember leaves green as spearmint
Crisp as paper i remember trees
Bare as coat racks
Spread like broken umbrellas

And parks and bridges ponds and zoos
Ruddy facеs muddy shoes
Light and noise and bees and boys
And days

I remеmber days or at least I try
But as years go by they're a sort of haze
And the bluest ink isn't really sky
And at times I think i would gladly die
For a day of sky
