memory treacherous
memory all we have
clanging cellular accounts
letters tossed gone awry
how crammed purpose
destroys aspiration
risks block sales
chains forced steps
commingles what we know
with what we wish
with what they want us to remember
resilience relies upon surviving loss
no where else to lay our heads
only on slipping pillows
of stories told at dusk
luminous at dawn
