Just What
What would you pay
to erase a memory
What would you buy
to blot out the stain
What would you give
to not be forsaken
What would you take
to lessen the pain
What would you know
if the words came unstrung
What would you hear
if the silence prolonged
What would it be
if time was delinquent
What would it mean
— if the meaning was gone
(Dreamsleep: January, 2025)
