A Poem After Ten Years... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i don't remember...

you show me a face
a hand
even a beautiful naked
body

you sing for me again
you even dance
you wiggle
you jump over a fence
you run
to a cliff and say
you give your body
a fall

you roll over the hills
like a ball of fire
in the universe

but i still do not remember
(the pain is still there
and i keep hiding from all
these corners)

no matter how i try
i still cannot remember that i for once
have given you a chance to exist

you ask me again...

i still do not remember if i have chosen the words so well
to write you a self....
