Flash Flood Nostalgia Poem by Alicia Mogollón

flood o memories

flood o memories comin quick

so i can't even see what they are

can't get one whole clear picture in my mind

it's my body

is remembering

that kind of nostalgia hits

ya like a ton of bricks

and i just thought how

i understand

i understand at some moments

i get so completely

about suicide

i understand Marcus Barrett

understand how perhaps u must have felt

Joe Mcnamara

and Ron Totton

and it's just not

anything you can put in words

nothing you couuld

ever explain

to all those do gooders

wish you'd called them

before you went and did that

perhaps you just had nothing to say

and that's the problem

when you run out

a single thing

to say

and the emotion envelops you.
