SAFE
My memory of feeling safe
Is locked away in your arms
Held tight with ropes and talismans 
Bound by younger selves 

I inhale old photos like a last breath filled with longing and
Question why you left me
To walk through abandoned thoughts
Vacant lots and feelings bereft 
Of time and place 

Your jacket no longer
Shields me from 
Weather, loneliness, danger
Bad music or myself

I look through boxes to find the sacred armor
We shared like
Food, shelter, lust
And memories of feeling safe

Because my memory of feeling safe is locked away in your arms
