i record my images of you
like sweet memories,
storing them away in my brain,
revisiting them often and less
as time goes on,
finding that those memories
become more and more,
less painful.

images of you.
...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?
These pieces are extracted from my book of prose, “50 truths and 50 lies, the first 50 years.” Available From: http://www.cafepress.com/byrongates.26516064
