Repainting Memory, by Emile Hemmen, 2002
$18.00
Untitled
Memory must be repainted
and all its lost fragments
will have to be glued together again.
Erased traces,
yellowed photographs,
toys
sleeping at the bottom of a trunk,
love letters
thrown into the purgatory
of our silences.
Fossilized or dismantled
objects,
already absent,
rooted to the spot, superfluous.
—(Excerpted from Repainting Memory, Emile Hemmen. Igneus Press (2002))
