Memory's Treasure
Yesterday’s future
tomorrow today
subsuming transcendence
in all that we say
Perpetually present
the time to recall
all life in this moment
whose instant befalls
Begin a new ending
to whirl in the wind
the clock a reminder
its hour hand spins
Memory’s treasure
the fuel to inspire
each log a new effigy
—raised from the fire
(Dreamsleep: May, 2023)
