The loneliness of memory

They live alone in his head
it's hard for them

they have to carry
on their shoulders
what he went through

and compress the long journey
of several decades
into minutes

they amuse themselves with
stories long forgotten

they get angry at incidents
now pointless

they live in circles
in circuits
of dead autumn leaves
and growing decay.
