memories i've let go of
things i have set free
suddenly come tumbling back
to take their hold on me
a moment of lapsed judgment
a century of tears
the clarity of understanding
the fierceness of my fears
and night can be so cruel
when it will not let me rest
echoes of so long ago
still rattle in my chest
