Afternoon, folks. Hoping everyone is having a lovely Thursday. It feels wonderful out. Bit windy though. I am having a pretty good day, all things considered. Hard fought, I think. Do you ever feel like you just can’t remember something you should? Some things that you should? Like it’s not even on the tip of your tongue anymore, but it’s just been wiped from your conscious mind. A blockage, rather than a haze? Locked away inside a vault in the castle of your mind? Find the key, win the prize.

An old friend
Come to see me again
“It’s been a while,”
Spoken knowingly.
“Can you remember?”
Not anymore
“Kind of,”
I lie.
“Remember when we…?”
I can’t
“Of course I do,”
Slithered through gritted teeth.
Sitting still upon a precipice
Beady eyes inside a carapace
Try so desperately to keep the pace
Look down and see my untied shoelace
Ataraxian dreams sail breadth of mind
And probe for gold in hearts of mine
But why can’t I remember?
It doesn’t seem like so far away.
