    AFLICKED



    Flickering flicks fall

    Off

    Her unlit cigarette

    And the party is over

    Time to take cover

    From the nights

    Of Hammering

    Forgetting to bring your soul to the party

    For a very meditated reason

    To forget to remember

    “That which is as universal as death must be a blessing”

    To forget is to remember

    Truthful existence

    We are mere sparks and flinches

    Will we be remembered

    Or deliberately forgotten

    Teeth grinding reminiscence

    The most willingly forgotten selves are immortally glorious

    One day worms will sleep behind our molars

    *one day worms will sleep behind our molars* denotes death to me. creative imagery like that.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
