	Fragile Memory

**Fragile Memory**

  


Sometimes, at night,  
When I can relax from being someone else,  
I call up from my memory  
The ones I've left behind,  
And wonder if I will ever see them again.

Dear Al,  
My link to sanity,  
With his wisecracks and jokes,  
And the pain I sometimes see shadowed in his eyes;  
Stately Verbena, bubbly Tina,  
Gooshie and the rest.

But there's a face  
That hovers just on the edge of memory;  
A face I can never see clearly,  
No matter how hard I try.

Who are you?  
I feel that I should know you,  
That you are somehow important to me.  
But the memory,  
Fragile as an orchid,  
Fades.

So I lie back in my empty bed,  
Feeling the fingers of my left hand clench tightly,  
As if trying to hold on to something  
Infinitely precious.


End file.
