Hawk

There are many ways to perish,
or to flourish. How old pain,
for example, can stall us
at the threshold of function.
Memory: a golden bowl,
or a basement without light.
For which reason the nightmare
comes with its painful story
and says: you need to know this.
Some memories I would give
anything to forget. Others
I would not give up upon
the point of death, they are
the bright hawks of my life.
