I have made memories of myself
Salvaged, translated and translucent memories
Like dust twirls that spiral
Revolving in the rays of a white sun
Through wooden slatted windows
While the heaviness that hangs
Hunted shadows over me night and day
Refuses to lighten
Real and imagined codes and expectations
Imposed themselves on me
I have become mirrored in other peoples' reflections
A shadow cast by moonlight in a memory

I have made memories of myself
Salvaged, translated and translucent memories
Like dust twirls that spiral
Revolving in the rays of a white sun
Through wooden slatted windows
While the heaviness that hangs
Hunted shadows over me night and day
Refuses to lighten
Real and imagined codes and expectations
Imposed themselves on me
I have become mirrored in other peoples' reflections
A shadow cast by moonlight in a memory
