I remember

I grunt

with the knowledge

my memory brings

I remember

everything

I remember

crawling inside myself

to find a light

inside the darkness

I remember

wanting to feel alive

I remember

the late night comfort

of my mother’s sleeping form

I remember

howling by the river

I remember

running until it hurt

I remember

feeling all my body parts

beginning

to feel rearranged.
