Memory and Fog

The Dissolution of Fog

Figures in the fog loom larger with distance.
But the sharpness of edges goes softly away
Into the haze of memory where time
Works its changes inside the mind of memories

Following the narrative on which they're pasted;

With the loose glue of desire gradually replaced

By the less persistent bond of time and distance.
Slipping away it’s sloughed into a thicker haze
Of fading resolutions gradually morphing into
A new form whose clarity is ambiguously loose
In keeping with multiple possible outcomes:
Suspended in vapor til desire's distillation.
