Do Not Keep Going There

Repeat, remember, re-rehearse, recall, embroider the memory, live it again. Various variations repeating a theme. The pain come back,. repeat, yet the dead and gone spring up more strong. Images flow through your open eyes and you know it's not real anymore, that its just mind's copying machine printing fiction as fact. Look away, refresh, forget, but then you relive it again. Try to learn. Repeat remember, re-hearse, recall. The memory now so distorted, so smudged and puffed up out of nothing at all. Clear the movie, burn the screen. Watch the fire consume the past forever. No more sequels. Repeat not the long dead letter, let the past bury the past. Hand it a shovel. If it won't go away, kill it with a Fresh 'Now' Moment. Don't look back.
