shocked at the shock
whenever i make the claim
that forgetting might
actually be a desirable thing
or when i claim
to be forgotten might
be much the same
what is memory anyway?
ephemeral and fleeting
like a cloudburst in july
or that first vagrant snowflake
on a chill october day

Here’s to those fleeting memories, and letting go when we need to.
Just avoiding clinging.
I agree.
Killer line: what is memory anyway.
Fine writing.
Thank you. As time goes on, I realize that memories are fleeting and it is only ego and vanity that insist they should be something lasting, ignoring their ephemeral nature.
Yes, and you have put this very eloquently, and yet still it is sometimes difficult to put them back into their box.
