memory

(a response to the Imagà Imaginings 2.0 prompt
“Image Prompt #7”
by Kathy Jacobs)

Image from the Jacobs family archives

memory:
gentility
bears only linguistic relation to gentle

memory:
domesticity
cuts like a rusty knife

memory:
placidity
is a thin skin on dangerous water

memory:
tranquility
is an illusion where you go when you canʻt go

memory:
equanimity
is balancing on a tight rope with no net, .

memory:
durability
is courage, compassion, understanding
surviving
one more day
