What Is Lost
Phebe Davidson

He remembers how they undressed
and how nested
in double warmth
they slept. A storm

battered at the house with fierce winds
all night long. Since
that time he's lost 
her name. Like most

of us he knows and doesn't know
that this is how 
memory fills,
then empties, chills.
