Have you decided to be
Not to be
Close your eyes
Close your mind
Close.
Pause.
Each person is a memory erased
From collective, from your life
From breezy stillness of the
afternoon
From chatter of the weekend.
From Ukraine, from Gaza
From pain on the streets and homes
Fresh memories and old stories
Life is no more future
It is paused to past
Reason don’t hold
Love not in meaning
Anguish missed by the audience
They seek distraction from
every desperation
That falls from the sky.
Settling smoke
Engulf
What is left of life.
(they will appear they say, in
thoughts, in dreams, in memories, in their favorite dress, requesting
desired meal or prepare it for you and ask you to wait while fret for missing
ingredient, saying chosen lines that kept them happy, glad and alive)
