Genially - (a reminiscence)?--

a reminiscence         

 

My pictures of memories burst into flames

With flickering yellows and reds,

Smouldering through spouts of drifting smoke that shroud

And fade into the wind;

Fallen to dust.

I haven't any memory--have you?—

(I think I made you up inside my head)

     

 Sources for the poetry I have cheekily pilfered; should any line please you, and demand you find its original friends, I hope this makes them easier to find. Thank you for reading, you darling thing, you.
