Sunday Reminiscence

And each time the hand retracts
I can better remember the feeling
And posting signs outside the door
Leaves me with wanted reminders

(Of a life well lived,
loved,)

And the pen marks and key stokes
And the ink blots and photographs
Are all these reduplicated moments
Movements on the tides toward afterlife
And for a moment there is stillness
Moving backwards to stall time
