I take them with me
the smiles we exchanged during breakfast (ketchup on toast???)
the smell of the river
the astonishing size of Cambridge ducks
the green under my feet running to the dorm in the rain
the sound of shared laughter over coffee
the glee in her eyes at delivering the punch line
the common pride about our posters on the wall for all of us to see
the English sounds and foreign names we practiced
the moments when I forgot to use my camera
the moments I was too busy
the moments collected somewhere else.
