In Memory of Me-A Poem by Devi Nina Bingham

A far innocence it came to be

like a dream of a boiling sea

like a small-town girl who lived to run free

a memory of me.

 

Whose bike was a ship that sailed pirate seas

whose music drew celestials for tea

and stories she wove to escape her father

written up in a tree.

 

I see her sometimes in my shy reticence

in polite penitence

in eloquent expressiveness

and yearn to possess

 

a far innocence up in a tree,

in memory of me.
