we forget so we can remember
we forget, so we can remember just a little better, who we were at birth, when love was a feeling, not a concept- where touch was felt as a real home-coming- not T.S. Elliot in nature- but a true flying backwards to a nest of baby blue birds, tossing feathers into the ethers burning a warm circle of trust--- recognizing the sky's changing, knowing when to flee, free from rust, and when to count on the common denominator of a sentient love- a blush of remembering how long it has taken to get to this place of fully trusting free of the rusting, an aging hippy traipsing--- up stairs making a simple day rich with magenta meaning--courting no fear burgeoning--burgundy words on a grey silky horizon words/photo~kate lamberg (c) '18
