Memory
What is not said twice is forgotten once.
Poems by anthropologists and poets on place, memory and belonging.
What is not said twice is forgotten once.
The first cup is for the guest, and the second for the sword,
A line, two lines, and a circle. He did not write his name,
They did not plant you for shade, they planted you so the ground would stay occupied.
The sellers fold away their voices as the mats are folded.
They say: this is an old wall. And I say: this is a breath that stopped.
