ginger writes me
ray heinrich
the words
fall one after the other
put there by ginger
by you
if you’re ginger
one after the other
with the picture you enclosed
of your daughter
and of course
you
would name her ginger too
the ginger that lived with me
from a child of 4 to 6
while you were off
for holding those drugs
a long time ago
but ginger
came through just fine
and at 22
she looks like you
same hair and nose and all the
soft pieces fit together
so i can’t help thinking
maybe
it’s you again
