Memory is a fiction – v8


What we believe we know
static, eternal
certain in our bones
chapter and verse
our history, the moments
as if an image, frozen
permanent in time

yet memory is a fiction
a creation of the now
We recast our memories
photoshop the images
history to our purpose
how we feel now, this moment
reshaping the fabric of our past
