I Can'T Forget
I wake
cold and uneasy .
Fitful, next to
fate’s anonymity.
The savannah interior
frees me,
from local textual thoughts,
and the worlds addiction.
Refused
the inheritance
of earlier memory.
The girl, a dream of trains and weight returns.
We had histories
You know!
Rain washed lives,
late to change, distant in the burden of experience.
And I think I called
her,
but in burnt mornings
the words scrabble for numerical sense.
Always my superior,
I couldn’t arrange
for my sentence
to compete.
Not when your up against a champ!
I lull,
back to Solomon’s song,
the morning of sleep
and dark water.
I believe,
my phantom body,
has fooled me again,
and recite………….
I can’t remember to forget you
