The dredge of recollection
haunts with every facet of melancholy,
sleuths of heroic memory slumber past
cavalierly the crepuscular of youth, there
time stands still and blunts the recoil of
mementos, this storage is vast in riches,
beyond notable thickets of flaneur, tiny
trinkets of twiddling tribulations seize
every sensation, this godhead of sorting
and lament hurls this weaponry with complete
control, provincial yet effective in collaboration,
collared by my own imprisonment, helpless
and yet cold-hearted these memories for whom
prey upon my self-reliant, self-willed, and
self-disciplined conscience, sense-datum
beseech every sentient esthetic reverie. Why
must they attack and kill at night when I’m
most vulnerable? This drawbridge of memorial
recoups every drop of misery without regard for
reconciliation, there recounting the salvage of
lost loved ones who are silently weeping. Are
they trying to reach me, or am I just alone in this
madcap of recovery?
