Memory is the craftiest one of them all
covering and twisting and stirring
according to the wants of the maker
It slides and rocks and blends
along the colored views you see through
matching the forward hopes to be had
It is in the pictures, the thoughts and the letters
in the clingy squinty attempts to re-insert oneself
into old thoughts, moments and gestures
It is distant beyond distance
not a place you’d see casually on a screen
and could imagine, even in your own surroundings
It is the warm tan that fades
the space between who you are and who you show
in the light blue that twilights
It is in every choice
whether yours or someone else's
whether well-thought or arbitrarily coincidental
Memory!
It leads you to be exactly what you are!
