Underfloors

It’s like the thousands of me’s die when I wake.

All the befores, buried underfloors…

 

Fuzzy and clingy, like lint…

And as precious as early century

Greek pottery.

 

Fractures and bruises the very thought.

The constant reckoning.

The tragic loss.

 

Of thousands of me’s. Every day.

Just anew.

No recollection of you.

No nothing anymore.

 

All that was and is to be,

Buried underfloors.
