Cheap.
It was
Cheap.
Illuminated by the summer warmth
The edges of the memories are softened by sunshine
Because
It was 3 days of carefree
Hot and sweaty
Cooking under the sun as we walked and we walked
Surrounded by bright sounds and
Noisy sights we
Were always smiling
Hot food and hot air
Our bodies crazily thermoregulating
As our eyes were busy taking pictures
To add to the albums since
The digital camera couldn't be trusted
A small neighbourhood but
You could see the sea
Cargo boats barely
Dots on the water
A cheap bracelet
A reminder of the adventures
Eventually lost but
Still recorded as a souvenir
Salty
Sweet
Chocolate
Street food and
Bottled water from shop freezers warmer than fridges
It was a
quick stop -
fly by -
pass thru -
The stay was short
But the stay
will be
The rest of our lives
As the
vivid memories etched
onto our eyes
ears
tongues
As they say
"You have left here but I will never leave you"
As they stay
In our body and mind
And with a moment's recalling fill
All that headspace
Move our heart to go back and relive it
And we smile and remember
That three-day hurry of
Everything
Anything
Nothing
And think
Ah,
The memories are so
long
but,
Really -
That passed by in a flurry.
