First Memory:

Colors.
Sounds.
A warm mouth.

Velvet fruit.
The taste of
Purple.

Green.
Chirp.
Plum.

On my way
to
a bird called
Delta.

Happy parents
crying me goodbye.


Last Memory:

Colors.
Sounds.
A warm mouth.

Velvet lips
The taste of
Goodbye.

Grey.
Ring.
Your eyes.

On my way to
Somewhere, maybe.

Happy children,
crying me goodbye.

The way that two extremes of life are so similar, yet astronomically different, blows me away.
