secrets of memory

Memory makes a secret
of the forgotten.

What a heartbreaking thing, when a friend
tells you a story you were there to see,
and you have nothing

except your trust in them
- and your wish that it happened,
and how right it feels that it
could have, did -

to create a picture,

to fill in the color
and shade, how it must have
felt, and been - how embarrassing

not so long ago, now

yes,
I remember it

well,

somehow.
