I Remember, National Poetry Day

I remember their stories

I remember those who were before

I remember what was said, but not how

I remember as often as I can

I remember why I wanted to forget

I remember that song

I remember wrongly

I remember hearing yesterday

I remember going nowhere

I remember as if it was tomorrow

I remember not falling from the bridge

I remember believing

I remember the other

I remember seeing it diffidently

I remember when I could

I remember words more than others

I remember when walls moved

I remember the shudder

I remember bourbon in the barn

I remember her being here, always

I remember being a member

I remember you remembered

I remember the first time

I remember being reminded

I remember how

I remember when he didn’t

I remember that burn

I remember fearing

I remember when it was on our side

I remember, I think

I remember the touch of your remembering

I remember I reminisce

I remember when it matters

I remember saying it before
