in that lightening moment I was stricken with a memory – quickening, swiftly, and then deliberately: a bamboo in waiting yet akimbo, a sea unfazed yet stirring internally, taking in the morning’s tremendous yawn staring visibly, a thin line dividing soul and body, ephemeral and perpetual, vivid recall and faint oblivion;
was it the wind that she borrowed with her presence or was it the breath that once stilled spring like an invisible, yet felt river in my blood? what impeccable maquillage was it that she donned, dawn or twilight? something the silence waits with its mount on the boughs, the munificence of such plural modesty, or everything the noise tell me which isn’t exactly but still is, a memory.
