celling a memory

Poem #46 from a series of poems drawn from the imagination and collected as: a Bachelard reverie.

Back to Bachelard and me – Introduction

---

in his mind
he drew an image
then another
almost identical

he drew another

again

cell after cell
all nearly the same

slight differences
of instant
following instant

when he had drawn
assembled
scanned
each image
he was capable

was able
to recall
complete
the memory of a thing
that happened once

meanwhile

time
had passed
