Things have memory
...not memories... memory... persistence or resistance... form of choice... poetry or prose...

Things have memory
Like the cob on the corn
Like the beads around her waist
Like the blades of dark green grass
Things have memory
Like the torn suits handed down
Like the worn out shoes passed on
Like all the village huts
Things have memory
Like the stars in the night sky
Like the smiles all shared by folks
Like the chainsaw used for trees
Things have memory
Like the scars that cover her body
Like the rotting smell of the dead
Like the foul stench o’ burnt flesh
Things have memory
Like the waters from Zambezi
Like the birds that fly down south
Like the fish in the river Nile
Things have memory
Like a roaring sea
Like a buzzing bee
Like you, & me
