About us draped the past
Please understand that we have always
Had the past wrapped around us,
Echoing the moments that we lived…
We wore it proudly because it made us
Into the people that we were,
Folding us like origami into individual selves…
Perhaps it was too heavy for some,
That cloak of memories,
But it still was a part
Of the way that
Humanity dressed.
Pattimouse 
Each of us, every one
A story
Begun as a gleam
In parents’ eyes
To last remembrance
A text written in living
That no two
Read the same

I see hours 6 & 7 are up, but it’s late. I’ll have to catch up in the AM.
