Forgetting Amnesia

show me how to love    
for I’ve forgotten      
I’ve put away its blanket      
hid its spoon      
remind me how all tender things      
aren’t rotten      
and tables are for turning      
do it soon      
I tripped up on my fear        
about December      
when you pulled      
back the curtain in my eyes      
and I don’t have the strength      
and can’t remember      
the things we've done      
between the hows or whys      
they say that love can cross      
the widest nation      
just seat me on your airplane      
in blindfold      
reintroduce with touch      
its soft creation      
don’t let me      
grow familiar      
with the cold      
direct me with a kindly        
well aimed shove      
encouragement        
and whisper of a clue      
please leave me be        
if you just play with love      
I want so        
to recall its ways      
with you
