The Curse Of Remembrance

The book on the bed-stand
The creak of the stair
The burl of the headboard
The lay of her hair

The circling thoughts
Enclosing your brain
The click of the deadbolt
Pulsing in your veins

A whisper, a gesture
The slightest resemblance
A last look, a first kiss
The curse of remembrance

An opening iris
A warbling wren
The scent, the sensation
Of skin against skin

The nape of her neck on
The crook of your arm
And piercing unrest of
The ringing alarm

A whisper, a gesture
The slightest resemblance
A last look, a first kiss
The curse of remembrance

Wake-up, wake-up:
You can never go back
The moment it's pictured
The memory wanes
The imagery fades and cracks

The woman beside you
Stretches and stirs
The motions may move you
But the body’s not Hers

You listen for day-sound
As swift-shifting shapes
Fall, shadowing over
Your way of escape

A whisper, a gesture
The slightest resemblance
A last look, a first kiss—
A last look, a first kiss
The curse of remembrance
