old pond . . .
a frog leaps in
water’s sound
This place is no place, but a memory. Cool waters, warm breeze - frozen deep underground. There is a light where no light reaches. A door that does not open, windows without glass. There is no noise.
Memories. They are fuzzy along the edges - they are always fading.
What is now is now just a memory. We live off of our memories: they feed our minds. Without them, we are lost. Without them, we are buried deep underground. But a light still shines there.
