All That I Did Not Remember - (2021)

I did not remember my feet slipping away from that patch of ground, I did not remember the smell of rain lifting fine particles of dirt and dust as it fell into the soil. Jesmond flowing into my nostrils into me, I did not remember.  I did not remember my body disappearing into and around the ground, the boundary shifting between me and them, I did not remember how the corrosion of me nurtured,

 

I did not remember how I moved through the soil again and how I became

 

I did not remember you becoming me,

me becoming us,

us becoming them,

 

and them becoming we
