newts and sticklebacks

 newts and sticklebacks 


ahh 

the three-spined stickleback 

in the jam jar of my childhood 

the newts under the muddied stones 

in memory’s quarry

we walked and talked didn’t we

we collected spotted memories

it was great fun

i recall it all

like the soil 

under the fingernails 

of this poem 

written just in time
