A Replacement Life
A childhood summer
leaks away, taking with it
its raft of unanchored memories.
Thoughts grasps at the cold hands
of the never-was.
Time and age question.
The long buried emerge,
a would-be history
exposed as a replacement fiction;
one stolen from an imagined life.
A borrowed sunshine -
yet still preferable to the head-dreams
that deny both fact and fairytales,
and open doors long nailed shut.
