1993

1993
by Tilok Adnan

this may be a false 
memory: the carpet 
stretched out to the ends
of my playground 

decked with shelves all
around , exotic and forbid-
den toys on them and
couches and sofas and 

chairs from where I jumped
and sat and played heroes
of my own making, are
all in that particular room.

it includes a memory of
you walking toward, and 
out the door only for 
me to follow, only

to be stopped and plucked
from my own terrain so
that you'd be free to
run like my tears
