Ice Cream Stained Park Benches is a collection of poems and memoirs about stories of witnessing departures and of staying in places, memorizing what is gone and what's left.
A book that acknowledges the pain of longing, of remembering too much, and holding dear to their memories. This is a time machine to my old love, looking back to the stories I failed to save and the stories that failed to save me. I welcome you here, in my Ice Cream Stained Park Benches. In my sad and happy memories. Be with me�be my drifter in these bizarre tales. In the places I borrowed for a stay, with passersby and bystanders I cannot get ahold of, and the ones I have been dying to hold. The parks, the children in the playgrounds. The birds of sad, melancholic lullabies. The oceans, highways, and boulevards are kept lovingly in this book.
For the strange love I've found and lost, the moments we've shared are all I have to hold. Like an ice cream cone in my hand and their droplets staining park benches. Memories. Memories.
