I remember thesethings fondly, but how will I remember here and now when it becomes thereand yesterday? I’ll remember being in love with you and I hope you’ll rememberme being in love with you. I’ll remember the silence and the crickets, the skyreddening above the orange groves, trout and eggs, one cat in my arms, theother running toward us with a bird in her mouth.Jason Bredle is the author of three books and three chapbooks, mostrecently Smiles of the Unstoppable and The Book of Evil, both forthcoming.He lives in Chicago.1Bredle: PoemPublished by Digital Commons @ Butler University, 2010Poem : Booth Journalhttp://booth.butler.edu/2010/09/24/poem/[9/27/2010 11:24:32 PM]Butler MFA  Contact Us  Facebook© Booth Journal.
