A glacial memory

They have asking me,

why I possess so many candles.

I answered, no answer.

My own father used

to make photographs,

when I was more a boy

than a girl, as it appeared

or seemed.

I have a spirit,

a voice those which

have been sharpened

in a glacial memory.

It is not my spiritual mind.

The face changed,

eyes look silently wise,

body is in harmony,

soul is comfortable

and I feel that one emotion

belongs my past.

It is the past tense

of our human race.
