Memories

We were in front of the mirror 

Hannah was in the dressing room with lace at her ankles and dresses hanging on ever surface 

"Benny says that..." 

she caught herself just like that, mid swing and sharply changed her sentence 

"Benny used to say..." pause  "that I say all kinds of words wrong like "strawl" instead of straw 

It was a memory, tiny nugget of gold that we all sort of recognized 

She sat there 

Satisfied with this memory as if somehow 

It brought him into this room
