Polaroid
by Ciara Burke
  Poetry Page  
 
A ‘hello’
some ‘how do you dos’
and perhaps a
Polaroid of his soul
folded by the corners
framed with sticky
fingerprints.


That’s what he
lets them see
as he folds up his
life, taps it on
the head, and sends
it off to another
bedroom wall,
tattered and frayed.


So fold me up Carlos
tap me on the head
tell me what a good
boy I’ve been
and maybe stick
a Polaroid of you
eyes into my
jacket pocket;
right above my heart.
