Insufficient memory

Is blogging a way of externalising memory? Why do we blog? why do others read them?

Insufficient memory

Memories of you
Take up too much space,
Too much pain,
Too much smell of failure.

There is no space,
To create new memories anymore

I must throw it all out.
Sweep the edges clean.
Scrub between the tiles.
Even the disinfectant stains.

There will be more space,
To record memories afresh

I must do this in a hurry.
Before the broom gives way.
Before the ink runs dry.
Before I loose the will.

There will be new stories,
New memories of you once again!
