The Basilica of Forgetting

Once upon a midnight dreary

I wandered lone as a midnight dreary

Shall I become weak and weary

On a summer's day

When the rain pours and the petrichor tastes like peace and poignancy

I love sitting watching raindrops forming settling on the window

Transparency on transparency

If only we had transparency

Then I remember and the heaviness

I could not

should not stop for death

---

So he kindly offered a stop for me

---

Havering, whithering a sad bastion

Of Basilica

Grand and imposing

More temperate

Sleekit and cowering

I want to be

Timorous I need

Right now

A hole like a hobbit

Dis

section requires an entry point

A wound

To clean

To mop the plasma

Daffodils bring joy

At times I wonder my word's worth

Then I see Ruth in her leather jacket

Shiny, tight and alluring

Intoxicating in a way

And forget

Everything else

For but a moment
