her eyes still green

she talks
about when she was in a parade
when seventeen.
she was
the cherry blossom
queen
sitting on the back
of a 
pink limousine.
you should have seen
me then,
she says.
i was really something
back then.
she shows me her wave,
palm stretched out
moving in small
circles.
smiling
from ear to ear.
her hair still blonde, her
eyes,
still green.
