A scrap of paper

torn at the edges

found crumpled in my pocket

crumpled, rumpled, bumps, lumps

in my memory

forgotten fragments of far gone fancies

scribbled down and discarded

or tucked away

safe from prying eyes

the secrets of my soul

bared on a piece of bark

was a mere shopping list

of ordinary items

turned mysterious by the yellowing of age

and the smudge

of faded pencil markings

obscure the message

once so clear

now never more known
