I have more memories than
if I were a thousand years old.
Charles Baudelaire
A very gracious student told me
that he had read my bio
and was 'impressed"
If he only knew
Our bios tell so little.
They are like a map with a start and an end
and none of the road in between.
The pages are scrubbed of tears
And pain
And even the joy and laughter
But most of all
The memories.
The memories of classmates
And colleagues
and family
who saw us through it all
Such a simple thing
A Biography
A story of a life
In so many missing words
And that's poetiquejustis
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Psalm 16:11
