The Sound of Memory by mindgallery
With all our forgets & plans stand the memories
until life grinds us down till we’re
tiny molecules
hanging out with the dust on a thick
summer night filled with the
memories
we never actually lived through
and it’s in this black night
to blue
thick swirled primordial stew
that I still dream of the
green leaves
anew

I’m sure I have half a dozen versions of mindgallery’s Sound of Memory poem published already, but this reoccurring theme is still one of my favorites. I always enjoyed finding them on the Brooklyn Missed Connections and the first line, “with all our forget & plans” still captures my attention as strongly as it did the very first time I read it.
