Fingers touching across tables
parching on the terrace;
a look exchanged during
chit-chat-chatter burdened
with subtext - lost on the audience -
but fixed in memory,
kept wrapped, only remembered:
a lifetime of kim's game
played by just one of us.

Unless you remember too.

my memories differ. I can't remember like you, or me, sometimes, which bothers me more.

A mesmerising reflection on shared memory - or not. This is our Facebook, X and Bluesky Pick of the Day! Please do share.

what a good poem should do, evokes feeling, a sense of place and time.
