Cheryl Wilkins
written across a box
in my attic
and in it a picture
of the 83 Camaro she loved
but nothing
about when
she took it to get groceries
about when
she stopped at that light
and the Ford pickup
its driver
drunk from one of those
long Texas roads
and nothing
about her three girls
or that second husband of hers
she never got along with
and who wasn't good for much
though it turned out
he was pretty good
at raising those girls
no
just some letters
some stuff from her first husband
who ended up
a second lieutenant in Vietnam
and her cowgirl shirt
with its pearl snaps
and the sound they made
and a ring
won on the midway
at the Texas State Fair in Dallas
and how she wore it all the time
even after its
red enamel heart
cracked
fell out
cheap thing
but you can still see
the impression it left
