A Descriptive History of Memory [3]
(for Michael Ward)
by
Mark Fleckenstein
From the ash of his last cigarette, a frozen glass world.
Five, twelve, 47 years later,
miles, wood, dirt. Others, as the dead should
be. Mute, x’d away. Thinking turned to worms.
Fooled light beckons rain, clouds in their unwashed overcoats.
