memoria

time's leading the way in which i thought it might
icy floes of knife-sharp minutes glittering dark
against the white blur of the rest.
i see them, touched by mind's eyes
they do not move.
things i wanted, wished on, could not describe
and things i'll never know.
they seem to flow fastest at night, alone
laid out on my floor
diagrams of memory
i see it all for splinters of instants, catching what i can carry
in my sieve of a heart
fracturing the more glacial moments
into photographs
the suggestions of a movement
notes of music and voice
restructured into perfect synchronized choreographies
and only once it is pieced together in the language i believe
may i sleep.
