Memory Jar Qui se ressemble, s'assemble.
Invitation is the sincerest form
of fluttering. Lily, it's dark
and I can't see you. La patience
est un virtue. Cliché, a cocktail dress
you wore to hide your shy desire:
five months pregnant with my father,
you had no idea why you tired
climbing stairs. When you work,
you have one demon; without work,
you face a thousand. The dark house
even dark in day. The house in pieces.
A thousand nights torment the lazy
golden silence. My hands grope the walls
in a dark foyer. A house without
children runs away from you. Qui s'excuse,
s'accuse. In case of emergency, contact
someone you've never known. I ask
and ask. Qui ne dit mot, consent.
When you run after a woman, she runs away
like a house without windows. When you
leave, she pursues you.
