Forgotten Already
This line is already in memory
every thought of feeling
or emotion
I ever experience, will one day
vanish,
like the dodo …
I am content to live in now
I have fallen to ground
enough times to know,
I will forget the fall
and it will only be
on the spin of the next,
that my memory will surface
good thing about memory
it conveniently forgets,
carving each word my wrist bones
ache, from strings of memory,
But I know it will not
make me immortal,
it just provides
comfort
Burning my name in the moon
will only be blown away by comets,
plummeting to obliterate
every curve,
every dash and dot
Leonardo Da Vinci speaks to me
even now,
and I know, one day away,
only the stars will remember my gaze
I brush my cheek with death’s
and know that it will be enough
