The Artlessness of Forgetting

(after Duo Duo)

It was just here
its shaped absence hovers
a tease, a playful provocation
remembering isn’t finding and reversing
forgetting’s course, which has no course
no art, no process
a word, a name we ‘know’
how many letters, sounds?
Not answering, it waits for us
to welcome its artlessness.
