No one wants to be forgotten,
Vanishing into the foggish
Memory of misbegottens,
Tapering to miniscule
Fragments of frenetic thought
Oxidizing into rust.
Large in life, behemoth that you are
In lavish local lore,
Can’t imagine that your memory could
Fade into the night to
Nothing but a radar blip
Scarcely noticed to trained eyes.
Much more frightening than dying,
So much angst to toss about,
Think about,
Talk about,
Howl and whine and shout about.
Will history and legacy be filled with fact
Or lined with lies?
Though the thought be bittersweet,
Kind, unkind, unjust.
Someone please remember when my
Aging bones return to dust.
