Flashback
By Tatiana Pahlen

Why in some dullest nights
your thoughts once buried arrived:
your biggest fear to face
sadden resurrections of flesh?
In horror you scream and run,
except. . .your thoughts are like vultures fast.
In the spin they peck your heels,
loudly awaken the bashful flash
back
to decades decayed past.

April 15, 1996
