Where my memory's goI had a moment to see
Flashbacks
Rewind,
Rewind my memory

Always YouI dreamt of you again last night.
You spoke a foreign language,
and you did not know your name.
But I knew it was you because your beauty is unmistakable.

Sleepless.
And now I’m falling asleep at the table.

The things you said...

New LifeHermit crab human scuttling about
In my new life. Ill fitting suit.
Like wearing your mother's clothes -
Clip clopping around the kitchen...
