Into the light

No longer in Hong Kong but still writing off and on. This is the latest mostrosity.

Into the Light
-----------------
Nothing's ever forgotten
Just hidden away in
Seemingly inaccessible recesses
Out of sight
But not out of reach
Reluctant insistent memory
A product of convenience
As much as of accident

From a crevice under the carpet
Where I abandoned a questioning moment
It rolled out and lay before me
Like a secret in the sun
Looking as fresh and potent
As it had in its day
Even though it had ceased to matter
It hadn't faded away
I lifted the carpet and kicked it
Back to all the others
The moments I had lived once
My stubborn presumptuous waste.
