Memory Graveyard

Through the annals of my mind

I find

Memories

Of places I've never been

Things I've never seen

People I've never met...

Yet.

And I can only guess

These are the bequest

Of forebears

Dogged despair

To leave their mark

To impart

Memories...

Too discerning?

Too salient?

Too poignant?

To be taken to the grave
