a map of memory

the cushioned chair, high backed, gold leafed
the porcelain figurine

the lazy susan cookware spinning
the basement stair exposed
the constant heat

the bedroom: Warrant, Poison
the blossom tree
the entrance through garage to kitchen table
the concrete floor

the right turn doorstop, couch
the sound of music
the backyard fence and clothesline
the roar of whole house fan
(a room I never entered)

...asleep with cassette rain
