all we forget

all we forget is that we ought to care
about the little space that we control
so recollection fills upon the stair

the solid melts into the grimy air
we view the breaking of the human soul
all we forget is that we ought to care

the revolution was ordained up there
by those who did not wonder at the goal
so recollection fills upon the stair

yours is the portion and the proper share
of what the little children thought they stole
all we forget is that we ought to care

the wider shoulder knows what it must bear
and every actor longs to play the role
so recollection fills upon the stair

it is enough to know and not to dare
achieve the part and then create the whole
all we forget is that we ought to care
so recollection fills upon the stair

(C)2008, Fragano Ledgister
