Thank you!Tale #127: To Forget, To Forget
Take a strand of hair
a drop of blood
and a pinch of salt
from a long forgotten sea
Mix it together
with a mouthful of milk
a half-remembered dream
and a lifetime or more of misplaced guilt
Drink it down
close your eyes
and try, try, try
not to sleep
It won’t help, of course. Nothing will. But at least the work involved in it’s preparation will keep you busy, and the effort, perhaps, will allow for the projection of some meaning onto a past where there was none, onto whatever horror it is you’re trying to forget.

and through the fire
she will come for me
slowly, safely, surely
to snatch me up
out of the flames
these townsfolk have set for me
and take me away
to a heaven
free from hate
and from these men
and women
made alike in their fear
