ALL THE LOVELY PEOPLE IN OUR MEMORIES

The past is dead, and all

the lovely people in our memories

who still come and talk to us

in our dreams

are but fragments in our mind,

which in sleep and woken thought

we resurrect to ease the pain,

the pain of loss

that shall pass when we too

will be but lingering shards

from long gone days

in the swirling thoughts

of doomed men and women.
