Unzipping a Memory

The glint of metal against pale fabric,

a sound that clings to the quiet night,

unzipped, a secret, once so graphic,

I feel it echo, haunt without fright.


The images flicker, faces collide,

as a zipper seals fate, grimly true.

In my restless hours, it’ll abide,

a sound, a moment—lost, yet renewed.
