And That's All

And Thats All
David J Walker
(12/16/2024)

The young girl disguised 
in mascara aged rage 
report a frayed journey 
kidnapped in time. 

How am I to remember you 
without a calendar of event 
without a program of pictures 
without a caption of laments
and itemized legers of expenditures
and renumerations ?

I know your name 
And that’s all
I know your sins 
because 
I am one of them
And that’s all

The statute of 
Lamentations 
illuminations and
Limitations 
Has long since passed
And that’s all

The young boy speaks from
The distorting mirror
funhouse mirror
carnival mirror
Into broken mirrors
Of broken glass
From times far past 
And that’s all

He was holding 
Your young  hand 
In innocence 
And that’s all
