STAY AWAKE ONE HOUR WITH ME

because memory defines identity

it is hard to live in the continuum of our living


without sometimes falling from a heightened awareness

into a sad sweet nostalgia for what is no more


but because identity is defined by memory

it isn't so hard to shake off the backward glance


and continue forward to some future knowing

what is past is still present in us...the content of our beings
