Molly Visits

Molly
your picture just fell out of Martin Amis' 
Yellow Dog
I don't remember putting it there.
Did you do it?
Good old Sauber
Did you do it?
I miss you
and your nightly rituals.
Remember your effigy?
It's here with me
on the dresser 
next to the Donald Duck 
my uncle gave me last year.
I left Donald in a drawer at his house
in Los Angeles
thirty four years ago.
The effigy still smells like you.
It has your porcupine hairs sticking out
of its chewed arms and legs.
Like Donald Duck. 
Like your picture.
You go away 
and you come back.
I miss you Sauber
I miss you Molly.
