----Every----Once---In---A---While---

every once in a while,
read me

pass by my elusive and fickle words, let-hers, and numb.errs
like fleeting rain

I may drown you,
I may inconvenience you, I know

but

every once in a while,
remember me

unearth memories of me
since I've buried myself,
and somehow
I am liking it here

but yes,
every once in a while
do restore me
Please?

to what, I don't know 
--still figuring myself out,

I somehow feel it,
the inevitability of it
of not leaving footprints,
only ghostly trails.....................

but

maybe,just maybe,

every
once
in
a
while

I'll 
    let 
        ink 
  flow through 
            my 
       veins 
                 again.
