Memories

Created from the void

Formed, a raw frame added to the growing collection

A cue, a sound, a smell, a feeling

taken in, saved

And then the shaping begins

A detail omitted, a detail added, a detail changed

The brain in control,

final destination in mind

Stowed away in a cool room

Left to sit

The giant brush of time blurs the image

New elements fit themselves into the crevices

Take it out

Look at it

A figment of imagination

Grounded in reality
