Remember This Now for Later

even memory becomes a lie—

that was a truth, and so goes

the old paradox— out of truth

a lie to beget yet another.


The hollowness must be filled.

So, the words fall into the holes

like wet sand, thick and dark

until the voices have stopped;


until the voice becomes itself:

pervasive like white static

smoothing all to a null point

where what we know is allowed.


I know my truth for now:

one thing leads to another
