I meant to catch up on all of your posts before leaving but have run out of time!<br /><br />Have a beautiful weekend.Susan Tinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900811284963063686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171487865623213768.post-16556418638401258162011-12-01T19:03:22.919-05:002011-12-01T19:03:22.919-05:00I think I have an over-fed memory, Hannah.

I call it a senior moment. (:--P) Or a dancing partner with me having two left feet.<br /><br />WOW, the palpable images! Another good one, H.ALBERT B.

The other day I liste...I love that opening stanza!<br /><br />The other day I listened to Joan Didion speak about memory, using it, shaping it, forgetting but needing to remember; so, your poem today especially resonates. I like how your poem connotes how memory can be this burden, ever present; how it can change with age (something else Didion addressed); how "caring for" it or not has consequences.<br /><br />Wonderful!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.com
