Memorandominanthem Or Something

A cultured pearl in a crystal stream
In the chestnut wood where I walked to hear
Your smile again from a proper year.

The noble wealth of the master race's
Captain of the fantasy team
Will not be enough for you to redeem.

A fescue sheet on a forest floor
On an anniversary full of traces
Of missing time and private places.

The elegant zip of this fractional year
Invalidates the rolling score.
A distant hug is worth far more.
