Le Maggior Parte Del Tempo(Most Of The Time) Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Le Maggior Parte Del Tempo(Most Of The Time)



I hid you away
in an attic

a photograph
amongst photographs

in an album
amongst albums

in a trunk
visited only by cobwebs

and the squeaks
of mice

I had remembered
to forget you

forgotten to
remember you

but the heart trap
of memory

goes
snap

and I am
again

an Alice
in her own tears

always drowning
in the same room

feeding my ghosts
to the sun

as eagerly
it laps them up.
