Forgetting to Forget

All those damn hours spent training
A spinning mind to glide
Into a gentle humming.
Unhurried and disinterested.
Slack lips on sleeping child face.

A lifetime of red leaf sunsets
Falling through gnarled arthritic fingers:
A failing memory and a shining face;
A remembering of the pieces and
A forgetting to forget.

remembering to re member
and forgetting to for get.

About Me

My photo
I live in a quaint, little town, plagued with the specter of speculation and commerce. I am trailer trash,with wishes for good dishes. I shoulda died long ago, but like a rescue dog, didn't. I am indescribably scattered. I speak three languages. I walk a tenuously, true path. I am lucky. For myself, for others. God, it is said, protects orphans, widows and the innocent.
