Skin Deep: A Found Poem from The Lost Wife

There are 
sensations of skin 
you will 
always remember: 
the first time 
you fall in love- 
and that person 
holds your hand- 
you are sealed 
to the other 
for eternity. 
I fall into memory 
like a soft-cushioned chair. 
I smell a lifetime 
of happiness. 
I close my eyes 
and see us 
growing old 
together, 
our hands knotted 
together- 
wrinkled and brown.
