POEM: The Memory Of Faith

Published 1 April 2024 by Jason Crane

The Memory Of Faith

I keep being told I love fiercely and well,

yet when the music stops I am left

without a chair,

watching the other lovers sit.

I no longer like this game.

Let the music continue —

I’ll hear the faint strains of song

as I walk to my fitted apartment,

back to the plants and the memory

of faith.
