Time against Memory

Summer is drawing to a close --at least in the northern hemisphere-- but there is still time to share some lines about its effect on many of us. Here is a poem written in the heat of the summer.


Time against memory

The scorching flesh
Under the merciless sun
The splash of waves
On the sea-chiselled pebbles
The lifeless shells
 Washed  ashore

The taste of salt
On the thirsty mouth
The time-dimmed memories
Of all bygone summers
The dazzling nothingness
Of the engulfing heat
