Our
Alpha’s birthday is
Memorial Day
& adjacent
Since the days move around
Yet on the year I’d been born~ I’d been born on exactly memorial USA federal holiday itself
Tremendous memory
With complex ptsd too that probably correlates to it’s development
In Living Color
Vividly engrained
Carved out
With some amnesiac blanks for protection to survive and reset
Face damage
Embrace music
And deafening quiet
