Susan Hawthorne #361 memory knots

memory is riddled with knots
like a bird's nest in hair
or a bundle of neurons meeting

when you undo a hair nest
all is well apart from the occasional
scream of pain when hair is pulled

undoing neurons is another matter
altogether    you could lose the
memory of the nest of hair

maybe not even feel pain
no one wants to risk unravelling
neurons and the memories they host
