ForgetsHe forgets the roundness of the Earth The flashes He forgets the timbre of his own voice He forgets the confession he made, the days He forgets the features of his father's face The sound of water in his head He forgets the farm, the form, the mind of words just said
He forgets the tracing of shapes in the sand He forgets the prints of his own hand
He forgets the children's ages and their number He barely expects the orbit of the moon He forgets the difference between never and soon He barely expects the orbit of the moon
He forgets the city and the man walking down certain streets He forgets who he is He forgets the flashes the man meets He forgets he forgets He barely expects the orbit of the moon
