Lilacs
I won’t pretend to have any real memory
of the wooden clapboard house
where we once lived.
But I vaguely can recall
the smell of lilacs on the porch.
I keep a clearer image in my mind
of the parking lot that lies now in its place.
How the hot tar must stick to the soles
of children’s plastic sandals
in the heat of summertime.
