1.
Permitted
one day:
collect things
be beyond border
or else.
2.
A broken circle
closes behind me.
I spin-off
indefinitely,
absent gravity.
3.
My memories
disserve me—I must leave that life
behind
again and again;
again and again.
4.
I see familiar forms.
I think I am home—
I slip
into an abysmal zone—
I gaze into a labyrinth of memory,
sink into a haze
of yesterday’s today.
5.
I did not abandon
your memory.
It might return.
