Poem – Remembrance, alone

Remembrance, alone

There is a space without Place 

thin as breath—bright as bone,
where I wonder 

if I am The Memory
or just remembering my place as 

Remembrance, alone.

The day folds into quiet, Spaceless distasteful Gaps in the silence.  Still
I feel the weight of things not done-
press against the spine of the world.

What if every unfinished thing
learned my name,
called it back to me in the hush
before sleep?

Would I wake wearing their ghosts,
a vessel of half-lived futures,
an archive of abandoned potential
still smoldering beneath my skin?

I do not know if I am becoming,
or merely circling the ruins
of what I once promised myself.

Still
there is something in the circling.
