| 24 | | Inside of my memory, the poem is another memory. | ||
| 25 | | The air up here is thin, but the wind blows harder | ||
| 26 | | than anywhere else I know. It threatens to rip | ||
| 27 | | my body away, like [an angel of death][], to the stars. | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | | In Arizona, I thought I would forget the rain, | ||
| 30 | | forget its sound on a roof like a hard wind, forget | ||
| 31 | | its smell like a far away ocean. Luckily for me | ||
| 32 | | it rains here. Luckily, because I forget too easily. | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | | In a dream, [my father is caught by a riptide][] off-shore. | ||
| 35 | | He's pulled far out, far enough that the shoreline's | ||
| 36 | | a line in his [memory][] on the horizon. I can see him | ||
| 37 | | swimming, hand over hand, pulling his small weight | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | | back to land. I see him as [another shipwreck][] victim, | ||
| 40 | | coughing sand and seawater, beard woven with seaweed. | ||
| 41 | | I see him lying there a long time. I see all this | ||
| 42 | | as he tells me the story, years later, the riptide | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | | only a [ghost][] in his memory, I only a child falling | ||
| 45 | | asleep. My mother's making mayonnaise rolls | ||
| 46 | | in the kitchen, a recipe I'll send for years later, | ||
| 47 | | in Arizona, in the monsoon season, when my thirst | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | | pulls me back home, my memory's lonesome twinkle | ||
| 50 | | like [stars above the mountains][]. I'll send for it | ||
| 51 | | and try to make them, but in the thin air they'll | ||
| 52 | | crumble into dust like desert air, like a memory. | ||
