Feb 28th 2012

And there was I
busily rehashing an old story,
when next I spotted the birds
doing their usual thing,
but oblivious of yesterday.

Memory

How long ago it seems now,

A vague memory

Coming through the mist of years,

Surfacing beneath the layers of mask

Like a wild beast trying to break free.

Why this pounding in the chest -

This deafness in the ears?

Why the biting of lower lip?

Why?
