The Guise of Forgetfulness
The Guise of Forgetfulness
©April 30th '22, Olan L. Smith
I'd like to see more clearly the faces,
I'd like the Human Collective Memory
To remember why past wars occurred,
What our constitution really says in-depth.
Dip not my face in the façade of forgetfulness,
Don't cover my memories in bronze or chrome,
Don't clip my wings before my time,
Lift me beyond the haze that covers the mirror
In the rich humidity of time, and make my
Memories clearer than a cold and moonless
Night in December, make the stars
A single point of light in the blackness
That I might remember my mother's face.
This is dedicated to @gailrunschke
