I wrote this poem in November of 2022.

“still I think of all the bloodshed somehow bittersweet”- Conan Gray

My favorite memory of us will be of us falling in your bathtub
and the laughter and love that ensued after-
it was almost a tragedy that ended as comedy
and it was one of our last memories
before we both decided that it was better to block each other
from each other’s universe
and while I still think of you from time to time-
it’s no longer with resentment or anger I once had
it’s with only fondness in my heart of the mess
we were together

One thought on “poetry: my favorite memory”

  1. This one hits home. I was talking with an ex the other day….our break-up very painful for both of us and yet, we’re still close and recalled an old memory of handing a bodega owner a cassette tape and him playing it for us as we danced around the store. The tape was Egyptian Singer Umm Kulthum and her song FAKKAROUNI which I think translates as “It reminds me.”
