Walking down
This empty street
Crushing leaves
Like memories
Unwanted, unneeded,
Relentless and unheeded
As I decide
My worst memories must hide
Or stay and die,
Sneering, snarling, wishing to defy
The Law of the Master
Wishing to prevent disaster

So slowly does the guilty walk
When memories, like predators, stalk
Lurking in dark alleyways
Of the moonlit city of brainwaves

Crushing leaves
Like memories
Unwanted, unneeded,
Relentlessly unheeded
