Forgetting all over again
Version 2
there is fascination within broken glass
save the unbroken skin with light touch
amid scattering of beautiful danger
reminiscence teases
something can't be accessed
that warm dirty air in an underground station
soothing whilst slowly choking
the train creates a breeze, almost knowing
your reflection in windows or gallery paintings
or looking up from a lake
something on the tip of almost invisible tongues
never telling
then the brain shakes it free
lists out mundane tasks
and you walk a to b
comment on the weather
sit in your car
follow a familiar route
forgetting all over again
Version 1 There's a fascination with broken glass
Unbroken skin, if the touch is light enough
It scatters, leaving beautiful danger
Reminiscence is there
Somewhere I can't access
Like the warm dirty air of an underground station
Soothed whilst slowly choking
As the train creates a breeze of almost knowing
Your own reflection in shop windows or gallery paintings
Or looking up from a lake
Something on the tip of your almost invisible tongue
Never telling
Then the brain shakes it free
Lists out mundane tasks
And you walk a to b
Comment on the weather
Sit in your car
Follow a familiar route
Forgetting all over again
