...

we sit guard,
at the doors of our past,
the only ones knocking,
are our own demons,
to be released,
to rummage and plunder,
through now,

the now is good,
it always is,
when threatened,
if perched perilously,
on the edge of oblivion,
from the past,
let the sleeping monsters lie,

the best grave,
awaits,
well deserved,
a eulogy without memories, and
the epitaph unmarked,
silence -
eloquence of the dead.

The first few lines remind me of a Brandi Carlile song: "Life is not a looking glass / Don't get tangled in your past / Like I am learning not to do."

P.S. Hey there, Mysterious Malady.
