i am not here to remember
i am not here to forget--
the universe is without question
and i without answer to give--
my loves rest fitfully
upon love, wide-eyed and true--
these mouths themselves are words
of wisdom, if wisdom rue--
here is the moon, a river
here the hawk, a spell--
i am not here to remember
i am not here to forget--
here is warmth contending sorrow
a shrew bled out in snow.
