A Day Spent In Fading Memories
Frightened of memories fading,
Early morning,
sunlight caressing the face
introspection at the reflection
in the Brahmaputra river
Afternoon,
sweet aroma of the red sand
and green on the countryside
struggles flaying arms to swim
across the blue waters by Narasimaswami temple
while religious, in prayer my hindu hands together
in obedience
red tilak, bells, sanskrit chants, and blessings.
My palm rubbing my little brother's
curled black hair.
His curse and my fret,
a desire to know his last words
Search for his voice in dreams, Since ---
Evening,
at the Christmas markets
walking towards a German castle
with some Ghuwine in my belly.
Later,
my first snowfall
snow angels shining on me
skies dark, trees naked,
and land covered in white,
My haven in New Haven.
7 pm,
climbs by the Kangaroo point
blinded by the flood lights reflecting
on the slippery quary rock.
Night,
Her christian mind, velvety short hair
and her soft cheek against my thumb
by the river bank
Losing her words, familiarity, losing, and
a chance with mon amour.
Late night,
blue fountain (Fountainebleu) camp fires on my birthday
sharing the trunk of a car
for a good night sleep
3 am morning,
glaring at the moonlight on cobblestones
walks in France,
in contemplation of memories old
A day spent, as the next day comes
I crave
to keep something found,
and I crave
for the return of something lost
