What I remember There are things that I do not remember. Being a babe and toddler, of a time so supremely adored. Because of this they say you cannot help but be their ward. I do not remember this, but I know. From door to door I go, not disturbing the space in my mind, the precious flow. Such things are routine, I do not remember them, but I know. As a rule I am not like the others, only I know that I know in the way that I know. I have no brothers, not kin from which I draw remembrance; no faces of lovers, different instances of me, holding monopoly, on knowledge of me. No, because even I don't know me. I remember my cognition of the night, an expanse of fanciful things. Not a chance, but for sure I know, I am that feared night, a dismembered thing. To remember, and not know: the lethargy of finite existence. The energy brought down by hallowed rays,to be absorbed by my twilight sky and naked moon. Each and every one of us; we remember and know, the shared phenomena of decay. Despite all the knowledge we may gather and remember, there are things to do. I must remember to remember; there will be no reminder of my bling, or a film to bring. Blowing up as smoke,I will not remember, or know. Breath to breath, this life blows
