"rememember" poems
his
pulsing, teeming, dreaming
is
breathing meaning
into
me

That weekend
When we reached the lake house
After it had rained enough to fill
The floodbanks for an entire decade
Do you rememember...
what it was like?
To walk down the footpath dissected by brambles
And see the fog surround the land
And those first moments
So wonderfully calm
It was if we had found a minnowing horse
We once thought was wild
Seeing into the eyes of it,
We stayed for a whole week
Every day so different from the weeks that came before
Yet every day we felt absolutely settled
in that place.
The past recedes
Into memory
That is all we are capable of.
Still, all the same
We never fail to remember
the past emerging
an old punchline
Only half forgotten.

i rememember how i felt
with your breath on my skin
while we were in bed
we were so close
i could swear our bodies were one
i tried so hard to memorize
the unfamiliar sound
of the breathing
that seemed to keep my heart alive
To this day i have never heard
something so beautiful
i have never wanted to keep
something more
i have never wanted anything more
than to hear it
again and again

Remember me when
I am gone in a sorrow island
Where you can no longer feel my presence as usual
Rememember me when
I am gone away
Far away in a deadly place
Where we can no longer see
And talk as we used to

Harvest forgiveness while still fresh
Do not let it setter to rot in box
Rememember the calling came at dawn
The heart once peeled stays skinless.
