| Remembering a Memory [For Caels] Reflecting back in the womb. Reflecting back in my room. A bright April night. Moon as full as a dinner plate. Stars are white Christmas lights at midnight. You smelt of tea, I of coffee with cream. Reflecting back in the car. Reflecting back with the wind in our hair. Walking along the cobblestone. Striding in mixed speeds, arm in arm. Sharing our love for one another. Sharing our coffee with cream. Reflecting back in the sun. Reflecting back until it is done. Hearing the metronome of a clock. Tick tock, tick tock. Those few moments fill a void. An endless black abyss of eternity in coffee with cream. Reflecting back to that seat. Reflecting back to that beat. One lock open, one lock closed. Straining to find the switch in the dark. Instant replay, I always miss my mark. |
