Confabulation (1)
How many memories
have been let go
to a fraught past?
Blocks of history
dissolve away
like aspirin
Leave a grainy cordial
to be drunk down
without relief
A sandcastle
is no jigsaw
for re-creation
Just the thought
instills fear and anger
for the unattained
The best efforts
dry and crumble
so easily here
On the beach
where we scrabble
for our lives
Among seashells
and detritus
tossed aside ...
Great merging of images, so tactile, and visible.

ReplyDeleteOh, how good. Life's memories a grainy cordial
ReplyDeleteWondrous, Danny, how the pieces get reconnected, like a piece of sandcastle to a seashell.
