Memory Poem by Michael Regan

Memory



Why is it that
certain memories
of idle moments,
apparently trivial,
never depart
while most seem to
disappear for ever?

Lake Garda-

Fifty years ago.

Mist-
no horizon.

Water and sky were
one white haze,
the sun a dazzle
of light so intense as to
hurt the eyes.

I gazed into this infinity
of whiteness, blank
and featureless as my
undiscerned future.
