cleaning out my garage

Jon Nakapalau

i find my two fencing masks 

in a dusty corner
looking blankly

with their compounded mesh bee eyes 
and telling me that they 

did not remember me for an instant
what happened to the young man

who last put them on to fight the good fight?

    It is most surprising when you go clean out garages and lofts and see the memories that you may have forgotten.

    • Jon Nakapalau

      It is almost a kind of haunting!
