Yours?

By chance, I found an old jotting. It seemed vaguely familiar. But maybe it really wasn't mine.

        

     Yours?

 

Corners form

Enclosure for the fire

The dancing and the raiment

Corral the horse

Weighted with ornament

Blanket and bearing

Heritage is an arch

Uniting space

Fingertips spark

A fragile bond for

Enduring love in

Future ceremony

 

These words on the back of

An unfinished crossword

Fall from a much-traveled bag

Fragments of my own writing

Evoking images and mood

They hang tantalizingly on edges

Of fractured faint experience

I’m stuck in reconstructing

The where when and why

 

The longer I think

The hazier it is

I give up

Did I dream

Copy or steal

If it’s yours

Let me know

and I'm telling you, it's completely yours because this free-style set of notes will no one wish to declare as one's own composition; that's why it is originally priceless. A daring musical decision. Cheers, alex

It's interesting how one could write notes as a hedge against forgetting something important and then forget what it was about when the message appears later where it was stored but forgotten.

Not mine. Not mine. Not . . . Eh . . . You have the makings of a dozen poetical writing amid all that jumble of thoughts!
