Anguish breached the numbness
Slick with shame.
Too long lost at sea
I agreed to ECT..
Dazed brain could scarcely retain
Any images
Neither moments enjoyed
nor moments endured
Those memories dissolved
dissected
disconnected
The slippery fragments drift
untethered
in a dark sea, years wide and deep
Ready canvases remained blank
And a chest, devoid of treasure, sank
Now we dig for treasures in the sand
Sunlight glinting off wet skin, small hands
Beaming, he clambers up
And into my embrace,
into his space
moulded by a thousand
unremembered hugs
