memory is
like a blade in a candy
like a fossil in resin
like a virus in an iceberg
is frozen and harmless
just unless it gets warmer
how are you
who are you
how can you live
with phantoms of things
-a flash-
that might never have happened
what have you done
with what\'s left
of your past
-i am cutting my tongue-
what did i do to you
and how can i justify
what i don\'t recall committing
how can i live
with your shadow
in the bottom right angle
of the only good picture of me
-crackling-
-crackling-
it doesn\'t get washed away
memory is nothing like water
it stills in your bones
you cannot move and i\'m stoned
you are coughing
it\'s getting hotter.
