I remember,member,ember

I remember,member,member
I recollect,I collect
shells from beaches
snails from wet grass
dust from shelves
and I collect
memories for the album
for times
from times long gone
from stone and sand
from seasalt
from pier
from colored neon down the mall
rusty red wire.

Wind is the air in your lungs.
Flower is a petaled plant. It blooms.
I never bloomed (yet).
The earth was soiled.
A bud of success frozen
it didnt ever open.

I reclaim now, I claim this pothole,it is fertile, it can drink.

I record. Strictly noises only.
I rely. I remedy. I relive my redundancy.
I'm reluctant to relocate,
I remain relieved.

I will be who I will be who I will not
will be
not the one I thought I'd be
not the one I hoped I'd be.
I am who I will be I am already

I blossom like fire
I bloom like day
I bend like wire
I turn like May.

And I turn and fire and shoot and reload.
And turn and fire and reload again.
Blood trickles from gun,
spreads evenly,
life's just begun.
