#332 the life of memories

Herbie was lost in the garden on the hill, east-facing
back when the top of the fridge was a world away
lost in the same place as sookie blanket and brother's toy-bike
the garden of dougall and mary-jack and other characters of my mind
silly stories grow meaning in life
the bumps behind uncle's barn become legend
ordinary-upheavals turn fable-tombs
and the salience of chocolate cake and rocking chairs multiply like multiple malinoma
memories grow and shrink and flip and somersault into new lives
