Many Remembers Ago(For Lyn)

Rating: 2.8


Tilly tells me tales
of herself
so long ago

(down to the incrediblest littlest detail)

I amazed
she can do so.

“How can you remember that? ”
I asked...shocked.

“Oh, I remember
many remembers

they just walk
into my head

& tell the story
all over again.

I just listen-ed
& tell what the story
tell-ed me

even if it is
many many remembers ago! ”

Years later
when she has grown

so far away
from here

her hand
fallen from mine

a Goth Punk
Princess

now only
men on her mind

she doesn’t remember
any of the remembers

remembered then.

But I remember them
for her

she too busy
remembering the Future

& the kisses
it will bring.

Oh, dearest Friend, how you turn a phrase...remembering the future! It is such a perfect phrase of meaning for a young woman! How wonderful.
