Do They Even Remember?
by Kalyiel
You passed through all those people
As if you were smoke and they were
Cracked mirrors, grinning predatorily
In the polluted sunlight.
— Do they even remember? Do they remember you?
You were like a twist of fate,
A coincidence, one of those things
That open heavy doors and then disappear
And now they can’t even recall your face.
— Do they even remember? Do they remember you?
When you were there, you reminded
Them of broken resolutions,
Of stories too alive to be true;
They shared you, but not your meaning.
— Do they even remember? Do they remember you?
