And So I Remember

These days,
for the most part,
are spent between
remembering and
un-remembering.

When we are young,
we want to forget.
Without understanding
we want to saw our wings off

and leap into darkness.

With age, remembering
is what separates us
from worm or mole.
It is light. It is wing.

It is fire.
