ELEGY Poem: I Found You, by Kirby Wright

In memory of Laurie

I found you in the obits.
We held hands during the 80s.
My old man drove us to the concert.
We were destined to marry.

We held hands during the 80s.
Sorry I was late for the party.
We were destined to marry.
I hated you for wanting that singer.

Sorry I was late for the party.
Notes from our song play in my head.
I hated you for wanting that singer.
You wore tight white cords.

Notes from our song play in my head.
My old man drove us to the concert.
You wore tight white cords.
I found you in the obits.
