If Alone Memories Are Erasable !

IF ALONE MEMORIES ARE ERASABLE!

&

IS TOTAL ERASURE POSSIBLE?

WHEN THE BODY IS INCINERATED

THE ASH REMAINS-

HOW THEN TO ERADICATE THE ASH?

INCIDENTS DIE

BUT THE MEMORIES STICK ON-

HOW THEN TO ERASE THE MEMORIES?

&

WHEN GOOD THINGS WANE

AS THE FOOTPRINTS OF THE BREEZE

THE PRESSURE OF VIOLENT THOUGHTS

AS CHISELLED PRINTS ON ROCK

REMAIN INDELIBLE IN THE RECESSES OF MEMORY-

IN THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT

AND DEEP IN THE NEST OF THE IRIS

MEMORIES GLOW IN RED HOT FLAMES-

HOW THEN TO ERASE MEMORIES?

&
