mercurial

thunder, i thought i heard you murmur,
as i was surfing over flame waves on the sun
the other day

these unsolicited reminders of days on earth
grapple at my heart and not too gently,
damn you

you dare have me remember colder days
when whisper and wind don't break my skin
(when i wished they would)

and i wish i would not hear you again
over the crackling of tides of flame,
i could be happy

not to know you like i used to
to have forgotten you
to know you forgot me

but you didn't
you can't
damn you
