Memory Trace
Where do memories reside?
In the eyes, the ears, or somewhere inside?
Some birds are said to migrate magnetized
feet of old horses lead the teem homebound
People used to relay feelings to the heart
But science locates them in the brain part
Yet my memory clings to my shoe laces
It happened one summer at the Beach Oasis
Awalking in the evening breeze, “Shuus,”
He held me back and squatted down right
So lovingly To tie my loosed shoelaces tight
How I miss him whenever I see canvas shoes
From him on no one has ever tied my shoelace
Tide and Time since have erased our footprints
All Memories of love have rescinded
I was left alone, with dark water around, on Oasis
With only that memory trace
of a single shoelace
