Pains Of Memory Lanes Poem by RIC BASTASA

Pains Of Memory Lanes



one can never throw
just like that the memories of the years

they're like sea corrals on the
floor of the sea
like shells clinging to an anchor
of the ship

like a rust on the steel keel
like tattoos on the skin

anything permanent that we try to remove
gives that pain

these hairs on the armpit
these nails we try to cut from ourselves

the cut navel.
