If I had a boat I would sail into
the Sea of Forgetfulness
When I’m midway across I’ll drop anchor
and wait for sunset.
As the last vestiges of color sink below
the horizon.
I’ll release my memories of you,
one by one,
into the onyx depths.
Each smile, each kiss, each touch
will disappear as though Merlin’s
Wand was brandished in air.
Each word, broken promise and betrayal
is erased as the night closes in
on me, aboard my vessel.
When the last ripple is stilled I
wait for dawn to be sure
nothing rises to the surface.
Then instead of going back
I sail forward:
away from the Sea of Forgetfulness
away from who I was with you
and into the blank slate of tomorrow.
