A Descriptive History of Memory [2]
(for Michael Ward)
by
Mark Fleckenstein

Night exhales cold escaping your overcoat.
Heaven’s seven fixed stars at the window. 
As if a mirror could animate shadows, give voices
uninflected reflections, terrified smooth flesh.
This prayer is for hell. I know it will find you.
