The Map of Memory

Photograph © Margaret Bednar

I ricochet 

Across invisible maps,

Flooded by recollections

Of the curvaceous,

The dangerous,

The warped.

The laces of memory

Spin past me,

Yarns of every color

That call my name

From the bins of the past,

Ensnaring me

In melancholy threads,

Luring me into alcoves

That shimmer

With the uneasy remnants

Of yesterday.
