Memory
Oh mysterious memory
Why do I re-member you?
Why do I only re-member
Some of you
Hidden, fogotten boxes
Once unwrapped
Revealing a universe before?
That one taste…
That one specific sound…
That touch…
Forevermore, inscribed
Why?
Why do you stay?
Why do you linger?
Do you wait, embedded
For us to return?
To re-live
To heal
To release?
Memory
Oh mysterious memory
Do you wait for us
To collectively review
To see the old story
Perhaps ones laden in bone
To reflect
And to re-write?
Or are you simply
A leftover echo
Of primal survival mechanics
What to avoid
What to draw near
How to keep safe
How to
Attack
.
Memory
Oh mysterious memory
Why do we re-member you?
Why do we only re-member some of
You
Hidden, fogotten boxes
Once unwrapped
Revealing a universe before?
Teach me
Oh mysterious memory
Of why
Of why
You stay
