Of What Lives in the Past

Memory has a way of dusting the heart of the debris it holds
the essence, the substance
while smoothing or softening the prickly, rough edges of mind
or exaggerating the simplicity
It makes for a beautified version of what lives in the past
Even the most mundane of memories come more alive
when cast in this glow
when painted over with a sheen
or watered down from what they are, what they were
what they will never be
