Is it like I remember it? (2014)

 

 What do we imagine

When we close our eyes

And must rely on

Other senses

And our memory

Of what we saw

If it is still there,

Touching the surface

To feel if it still

Feels warm or soft

And does it still vibrate,

Does it taste

As good as I recall,

When my eyes

Still deceived me.

Does she smell as sweet

Or is she so

Out of reach

We can’t feel

Or smell or taste

What we once did,

And linger in that

Surrealistic landscape

Of an untrustworthy

Memory,

Of touching

And being touched,

Of loving

And being loved
