Mental Amnesia
Dissociation of Head and Heart
It’s funny how my body remembers you, yet
my mind wanders, searching for you.
Fingers trace the tracks of my spine, your
Palm in my palm, you pull me close, soft
Light conversation, banter tethered, feathery-
What were we talking about? my mind questions quizzically, now
closer, step by step
hand, fingers in my hair, lips
soft, but present, there, eyes
somehow, they’re nowhere, stars
seeing you no more
yet
you
are
felt. Nevertheless.
here, now,
then, how?
when? mind loud-
ly questions
too many.
While my body remembers clearly
the mind wonders quizzically,
How (when) did this all start?
Who is he?
What about the heart?
Don’t bother me.
None of that even matters.
We’re busy
consolidating latent memory.
