selective memory
trade you this for that
remember when the earth was flat?
i’d run with you
till we both fell off

collective sensory
was it so compact?
lost in any means of contact
lie here with you
till both our souls are lost

her face obscured
by the fire side
lost in a part of me that died
breathing in
all the life she had to give

we’d face those fears
with shallow pride
lost in a sense of self that’s tied
to fragile lives
that were never ours to give
