Does the Flame Remember the Ash

Writer's picture: Jeremy PalmerJeremy Palmer

I touched your hand again today

Well, just your toothbrush but it felt the same

Then I took it and threw it away

I wonder if you’ll forget my name

Or the feeling of our fingers entwined

How your body felt in these arms of mine

Will I diminish into insignificance

When your heart forgets my fingerprints


Will I forget the feeling of your thick coarse hair

The couch forget how we used to lay there

When the future’s fire is done burning the past

Does the flame remember the ash?
