Memories in blood (of a life not lived)



Speak of my life

Or of the one I have not lived

Through memories of never

Found serenity



Only in my grave

Where the salt of the sea cleanses me

Of memories of painful

Lacerated grief



Written red in sand

Erased by the flood, sucked from this earth

By memories of wine

Spiritually matured



Only with my death

I offer you safety, again to be safe

Of memories of fearful

Evaded poverty



Build on my remains

A happiness of rhythm and sleep and vitality

Through memories of lovingly

Given life
