post festum

i will remember you.

i will remember how you held my hand

and how your fingers entangled mine

how your hopes dived in future

& how the future screamed

i will remember how

images started to fade

i did everything i could to keep them standing

oups, i forgot- the roots.

i will remember the tide of knowledge

which washed on beach we left our footprints on
tsunami of experiences past

mermaids of enchanted today

I won't forget.

not out of hormones' urge

to remember excitement

not out of who i am

and life made me be

not out of rage which crossed the path

but because of shipwreck

i might become

and i didn't

because I choose

once upon a long lost time

to remember,

too.
