On Forgetting

Jeff Pianki


I forget more every day
All the names I can't put to a face
And memories of a certain place
Blurred in a curtain of haze until the moment strays

Try to picture when the days were long
An image of the setting sun
The darkness right before the dawn
Keep calling on the morning but it never comes
Until the moment is gone

So this is how a moment ends
Recall and then forget again
The images all twist and bend
Recall and then forget again
