Memory

Very little fades away from me,

Love, details, people,

They are like photographic

Memories.

I remember the feelings I had

From times I rode a tricycle,

The Aurora in the sky at four o’clock,

The black cocker spaniel next door,

Who drank beer.

Your face.

All of my life is like a movie

Ready to be played back

At any moment

What others forget, fading as

Unimportant,

I remember like observations

Under a microscope,

With feeling.
