Strange,
Isn't it ?
The twin urges
To remember
To forget?
Chasing each other
Like the hands of clocks?'
To remember the dazzling day
Forget the stygian night
Remember the feast
Forget the hunger
Remember the praise
Forget the blame
Remember the kisses
Forget the heartbreak
Remember palaces, kings
Forget ghettoes, the dispossessed
Remember the bird’s flight
Forget the leaden cage
Remember the promises
Forget the betrayal
And at the end of it all
The confusion of memory
Should one remember to forget
Or forget to remember?
