From Genesis Down

& humans attained memory
& memory is sickness

memory is sickness
memory is sickness
eden, here, now,
memory is sickness
blessed are the amnesiacs
memory –
flash, flutter, & trill
semaphore for the dispossessed
flash of what you know,
original sin
sacred amnesia
original sin
sickness of knowledge
wicked memory
blessed amnesia
holy orders
marching orders
order of nature
the “way things are”
amnesia
redemption
“I remember”, or, “I know”
sickness
thrill
sickness
knowledge
sickness
birth
affliction
life
sickness

this is the semaphore of the dispossessed:
to know alone
to feel outside
to remember
