there are things
that i wish
i remember
but i couldn’t say
exactly what

i will just
have to settle
for the smell of flowers
that occasionally
taunts my shredded mind

it could be worse
sometimes
things are forgotten
sometimes
they claw your brain

i will take
the subtle hints
over
the vacuous spaces
that take control

but there are things
i wish
i could recall
even when
i am not sure what
