watchful in the streets
as each person
passes me i obtain
another piece of memory
to put in my velvet case
i will never know
any name but
i will hold one
just one memory of theirs
a lover's kiss
a dying world
a passing thought
a long-forgotten promise
and i will stitch
together all these pieces
from there my quilt
will tell every story
passes me i obtain
another piece of memory
to put in my velvet case
i will never know
any name but
i will hold one
just one memory of theirs
a lover's kiss
a dying world
a passing thought
a long-forgotten promise
and i will stitch
together all these pieces
from there my quilt
will tell every story

Author's Note
tfw you accidentally reference the AIDS quilt before you knew about it. can be taken as either a magical memory-eater-person or an AIDS memorial, i suppose
