The Memory Poem by Robert Rorabeck

The Memory



And what an illusion—the things that smile
Just as the sun gives off the rays of a crocodile—
Smooth embers coiling to the flesh
As angels go to greet airplanes:
It is their wish.
Their father son has cast them down as tears,
Like sadness cast away—
They refract across the entire articulations of
The sea—the kaleidoscope of her freedom
That hides the memory.
