Wednesday

awkward.

I mean ma'am who are you really?
No one has asked?
why?

If once I was beautiful? would you believe me?
if once my hips swayed, daintly ?
would your eyes,
young man,
not glaze over?

What was my name? the one they all once knew,
Where is my name?
I remember, they forgot.
I remember they forget.

Soft eyes,
without logic but lust looked at once.
Dark rings now
look back with longing.

There it is now,
that tremor.
in the wrist
wresting me away.

Nv'r mind, my hair is set.
will you give me memory sayang?

no ma'am, I cannot.
remembering is for the rememberer.
i'm sorry .
