Poezja

wearing off
 
no longer indelible
the ink stains of my present
still wet they start to fade
out of the tapestry
of my mind
 
grasping
at my lived particulars
shingles loosened by tau proteins
fragments of my recent past
sliding over the edge into oblivion
i watch them dwindle down
leaving me and my muddled smile
 
i see your face
my heart feels a passing warmth
my eyes view a stranger still
my lips decline to say goodbye as
you watch the slow unlinking of
my heart and mind//
