a thousand paper memories

there are times when you forget.

there is much you forget but this especially, the way paper can fold

between your fingers, crackling along false seams.

it yields. small shapes and perfect angles, just how you asked for it.

the truth is that you don’t even need to see the way the sticky note bends anymore;

there is trust between the two of you, unspoken agreements about ancient arts,

and in the end it all comes down to this:

you fold your friend a crane and she gives you back a dove.
