save it from the age

Member since 2002 · Posted 11 Jul 2002 · 3 comments

invisible cities crawl past sleeping ages and in an eye's lit glimmer of recollection we sense home and break down the door to find a rotting cottage of pots and pans and a stained mattress but moving beside the bed under a creaking board packed knowingly away (to save it from the age) is a name given to thoughts that remind us of something we ought to know but can't remember
