memories
like dinosaurs stalking a
primeval earth
memories
like waves washing the barren
stretch of sands, again and again
memories
like camphor
in a clenched fist, melting fragrance
memories
like idling
clouds drifting across an azure sky
memories
like floating
butter in milk
memories
like ink in a
crystal bowl of water
memories my dear
that soothe,
haunt, make me long
bitter sweet
sour salty
like the sweat
on you
beaded pearly
magnificence
memories my love
of a life not
lived
of a moment
saved for eternity
of hope filled
despair
of dreamed
colours and contentment
memories
memories memories
that become
formless food for the fumbling ants
as crows pick my burnt bones….
