Fragments of stories
Told, told, told, retold,
Redacted every telling,
Echo through my sleep.
They aren’t my stories.
They own me; I don’t own them.
Them, the key word in the spell.
“How do you know how to stop
Them?” “Because I remember.”
When I’m less certain
I narrate to myself
More. The skeletal
Hands that rise off the keyboard
Know it will still play, are sure.
