hanging lovers (recollection)
she kept all her
former lovers hanging
in the closet
of her mind
former lovers hanging
in the closet
of her mind
these she had loved
& invited inside
before the inevitable
& the leaving
although she realized
memories cannot be left
behind like lovers
hanging all in a row
•
recollection is not the same as memory
memory is a spontaneous thing
like breathing or scratching the back of your head
recollection is a purposeful thing
deciding to gather to organize to treasure
& then to do that all again
& again
