Remembering Now
https://poems.culturing.net/2026/11/13/remembering-now/
In the midst of it all,
can we pause to grieve, or
as time marches on, so must we?
I don't know why it took so long
to remember the feeling and the smell
of plaster and carpet, the ringing
of death or the cold neglect
of a boy whose mother was sick.
I'm remembering now, and I
write it down, for all those
who have felt the same.
