Goodbye, My Memory

Goodbye, my memory, once residing in my mind Your presence now is impossible to find Searched for your scent and scrambled far behind I've lunged at the Earth but come up deaf and blind Your melody swam in my breath, was it too steep? Spinning far beneath, the crowd heard its weep But the springboard crumbled; the crystal was deep My memory had left; there was no audible beep Once sent my brain flying with electricity Your whirlwind was the lifeline of the intensity Dreaming of your magenta and complex simplicity Bathing me in frost and blue-rimmed elasticity No more memory to caress my tender, beaten nerves Must it float away to whomever it serves? Diving in and out of impossible curves I spent my memory; why did I not conserve? I rotate the fog, and I ask for a change Nothing too radical, or too far out of range Take this fate, modify, rearrange Return my memory only, I ask nothing in exchange The print is large enough to interpret, to a degree These words and definitions that increase my sensitivity Nothing matters, however, no speech or decree How can I possibly live, with no memory?
