Contagious Memories

“Americans…are forever searching for love in forms it never takes, in places it can never be. It must have something to do with the Vanishing frontier” – Kurt Vonnegut



I walked among the statues,
forgetting what flesh looked like
too afraid to glance at my own hands
and catch them aging

In both breakups and hotel room checkouts
I can't stop thinking about
What might have been left behind
