Temporary Death

What this is up to you, and please review!

the human closes the ghostly bars that allow

the world to enter a room.

the remnants of the moon's light filter

in,

then are cut off, like compliments

to a mind.

memories are pasted into a scrapbook and

its pages absorb the sticky tears 

the mental tears of paste as forgotten memories

of the day resurface in the lake it created.

the lake drains in the 

temporary, necessary death,

supervised by the moon.

the cadaver is woken with the sun.

and resumes the cycle of 

paste

die

wake

like the momentary decease never happened.

the memories, however, are 

pasted forever.

and one day, the scrapbook will reopen.
