winsome, lose-some
 

there are bones in my memory
flowers lining mind
you grew once there you 
grew far and few 
too beautiful.

so bring all the pieces to mind
watch how they dance with such sudden delight 
see sharp light fade now and
know knowing dies
full forgetfulness takes flight.

sometimes i see you through murky and dark
mind did not snap off, oiled shine like bright artwork
unknowing you, showing you, surely harder for me
still i recall all now, memory sight sound and gleaming.

so bring all the pieces to mind
watch how they dance with such sudden delight 
see sharp light fade now and
know knowing dies
full forgetfulness takes flight.

with my terrible bones dipped in terrible fear
i keep fragments held close, hoped would one day disappear.
maybe ill see you in waves you come to me in
tides shift back to unseeing and there won't realise.

so bring all the pieces to mind
watch how they dance with such sudden delight 
see sharp light fade now and
know knowing dies
full forgetfulness takes flight.
