Remember Me

 Remember Me

And yet

unending rain, such thoughts as never cease

monsoons drown the granite, toppled priest

but no Nietzschean mockery 

can deconstruct me.

Flinty, hardened, lone discarded penny

fossilizing one among a many

curious glyph inscribed on stone

pleading, unrepentant tone:

do not forget I wrote this poem.

This is written with true understanding. Great poem 👍

Thank you.

A provoking read Montag. As always the grim gaze of Niet hovers in the background. Love the authentic: catcher's mitts, programs ...sheer genius.

happy new yr friend

Ken you're kind as always. I'll accept 'provoking' and 'grim' but 'genius' sounds like the champagne is still talking.

Good to hear from you. The latest New Yorker has a Paul Muldoon poem.
