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
