Memory Artisan

memory-the artisan
pasting collage to the mind
a slideshow of
highlights 
lowlights
blistered frames with no lights..
lives in speed of light review

a foxtrot of realist- impressionist
the mad-mad artisan
kneading frantic distortions
horrors
marbled 
with 
slivers of bliss
fun house deceptions
a lavender and piss checkered mix

good memories are nothing but escape
on a leaky life raft
bad memories are dorsal fins stripping 
the last fleck of light from waves of black

but nothing really matters but the present
that cold kelp tide that grips the chest
until its hammered back into a relief of memory
