No one ever forgets.
Memory is more hardwearing than most things on this earth.
The bearer and the giver of pain
both carry its weight
for as long as they live
because forgiveness
is nothing but water--
a medium that makes us more buoyant
than we really are--
but it is never the solvent
that cleans out the hardened stains of poor judgement
from which all things reek of regret.
