Though he can't walk, he still wanders through the corridors of his memory. Peering through his framed lenses, he waits for the image focus. A monument, So resplendent! The gleam of That light ,white brick, casting the grainy shine of a castle. These bricks were laid, by family brought together immersed in the collective, tangible suffering of the world. Family brought together by truth. The human condition. In a way it was beautiful, mimicking the opening of a nightly flower to the star’s light. In a way it was sad like the task of Sisyphus, marching ever up the hill so hard. However it came about, it forced a channel of inspiring wisdom. As if intelligence dragged it’s finger through the sand to create empty space for the effervescence, paths for thoughts and reactions. Life evolved, layering the infrastructure of free will, driving it forth like an enraged charioteer, bouncing back and forth between dissonant realization cacophonic syncopation Trying absurdly to find the resonant tones. The rest of the memory Lucid now, As if the dirt dropped so violently into my cup of water Finally settled. The memory stands propped, on the hobbled thing I call my mind. We became vehement paradox Warring day and night as if we were a polar pair of docs. We recklessly constructed infection and remedy that we might Try so sublimely to cleanse the setting horizon of mosaic shadow mask grins, clouds masking the task. ending with such a blast, as wide as the gaping maw of the endless known only as desire. These dusty eyelids watched the horizon lose it's light and in perfect harmony become blind to it's shadow. Remembering softly was my duty. Dreaming was always a taste of what they call the little death. Now that I have remembered, death whispers to me. Beckoning as if an old friend, seeping through like the floral aroma good coffee.
