memory trace a shoelace

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All Memories of love have rescinded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
