Memory

"The past is not a book.    yet change goes on

 Freedom.  It isn't once to walk out

under the Milky Way, feeling the rivers

of light, the fields of dark--

freedom is daily, prose-bound, routine

remembering.  Putting together, inch by inch

the starry worlds.  From all the lost collections."

(last lines from "For Memory" by Adrienne Rich)
