Amnesia

(3 January 1976 - to JAH)

So curious:
     I can't recall
     how it used to be,
     the symmetry,
     the pattern of days
     predating you.

     I can't remember
     listening to colors,
        or drinking fire,
           or spewing off sparks,
              from my skin,

     or seeing
     crackling thoughts
     skip across eyes
     on invisible wire.

     or the smell of earth,
        the taste of air,
           before I found you,
     the ways of the world
        before it began
           to spin around you.
