did you get the memory?
i remember what you said to me
would you mind sending me another memory?
that was what you said you would do
what does your memory say to me?
i was listening
to your words but
not to what you did
you recreate your memories
as if i were the holy, less than defunct or really dead
look right through to use my image from the wall
the memories strike my heart
not my head
didn’t you get the memo?
i still live
does she care or know?
did you remember to tell her what you said and did?
i get the memory?
do you?

About lamehousewife
poetry, articles, thoughts, and quotes... on a quest to be authentic in my motherhood, sisterhood, and daughterhood, but i can tend to become Juvenalian sometimes, maybe in writing but also in life, reading Swift's "A Modest Proposal" as if i were hearing a friend speak to me about the how ridiculous some ideas can become, especially when they begin to drift into reality, mocking all of us really... i identify with Mary Magdalene, James, and Peter and am extremely grateful for that woman who said, "Yes!"...oh and i can be pretty lame...blessings to you, dear reader...pray for a single mother, her children, and the father of her children today!
