Sometimes I wonder what would happen to me in the future if I forget the words while I'm talking to someone... Sometimes I pay attention to many things and then I realize that I don't pay attention to anything, sometimes I wonder if my decisions would be alright, in the future, I'm worry about the future and I'm not doing nothing in the present, it's like I'm sleeping and the time is passing and the things are passing. I feel afraid about making mistakes in my decisions but then I think I wouldn't know if I don't try...
Today I watched a documentary about a writer called Edwin Honig, the documentary is called First cousin once removed. I really loved to watch it, Edwin Honig was always a poet eventhough he had Alzeheimer, and as you watch it you can see the reason of his disease and it was to forget things... He was a good writer, poet but he wasn't an excellent father... No one is perfect right?
This documentary inspired me to write to comeback to my words roots, to my need to write a legacy...
And this phrase, by Edwin Honig, was the ringing bell to wake up my inspiration: "Forget me one day, one week, one month, one year..."
Here's a poem by him and a clip of his documentary made by Alan Berliner.
To Infinite Eternity
I
Death is closer
to infinite eternity
than life is
and each life closer
to each least breath
than the blankness of
infinite eternity itself
II
To think blankness
rouses certain terror
and in the feeling
the sudden sense
of self responding
down to the smallest
unaided particle
of its existence
as answer to
the blankness of
sure nonexistence
III
Then infinite eternity
may be the opposite
of felt existence
durable as any
measurably
felt time
IV
I say hello
to myself
and to break
the terror
of nonexistence
I restore my self
to existence whatever
the consequence
