Having Lost Clarity

 

It is something I can never do again:
Write fresh from the moment that she told me
How she had waken early to see the moon
Shine upon my face while I was asleep.

It would be like those years of pilgrimage
To my old school when I used to stand
On familiar corners near familiar
Buildings waiting for the memories of friends

To console me, but the time I stood there last,
They never came and have not returned
Since then. I will not try again to paste
Together pieces of memories burned

Over time nor try to retrieve poems that mattered

When ages have passed since the words scattered.

February, 1989
