Memory intrudes
Without apology


Making the passage
Of years
Inconsequential,

Leaving me
Finger painting
In dust,

Mocking
My penchant
For relevancy,

unnerving
And disturbing
The order within me;

Staining
My emptiness
With your colours and scent,

The way a window
Burns red
Long after the sun has set.
