once upon a time…

 

once upon a time…

a question arrived
on the spring wind

blowing open
unnoticed doors
by simply asking:

are your memories
using you?

or are you using
your memories?

now, watching the mind
launch itself into reliving

its favorite stories and tales of woe
what great productions it makes
endlessly intoxicating itself

what unfamiliar freedom
to observe,
rather than be snared
by memories.
