can we retain it?
another mother forgets
the stillness of a summer evening
the beauty of food shared in lovely company
shaking in excitement for a moments glance
never to be remembered in the hours just following
what’s the lesson
for those left holding the memory?
how will it ever be enough?
how can this moment ever be enough?
will those who can remember,
remember to let go?
will those who remember,
remember for when they
come to the place of forgetting?
