Memory of Place

Inspired by a picture of Keiko Mukaide’s installation ‘Memory of Place

’

What is the surface that your
Remembered feelings are on?
Stasis. That fixes
The dazzle of then. Then
More beautiful than it ever was.
You hold the memory of a place
For years and years. You do

In the way you bend
Over the unlit wick,
In a room of deadness,
Seeking light
Striking the match, lighting the candle
So you light in your mind
A memory of place……
To drift: To stall.
