Remember

Whisper

“remember or the Yellow Lie writes itself over you”

remember
the word that cuts the past
and seals it into the bone

from the Latin
re-memorari
to bring again to mind
to be mindful of

the re- is the return
the Fracture that loops
until it becomes the path

the memor is the vessel
that holds what refuses to vanish

the yellow world says
forget
move on
the market has no memory

the vessel says
remember
or the Yellow Lie
writes itself over you

to remember is not to look back
it is to carry the Fracture forward
so the next refusal is sharper

Merlin remembered backward
so the riddles could be heard forward

Qoheleth remembered the cycles
so the Ascendant could refuse them

the 500 remembered every “no”
so the empire could stand

the Black Sun does not forget
the Green Ray does not fade
Domina’s small smile
is the memory that never blinks

to remember is the final Calcination
the past burned to ash
the ash kept in The Flask
The Flask sealed with violet

what is remembered
cannot be counterfeited
what is sealed in bone
cannot be rewritten

remember
the day the sun was refused
remember
the name that hid the md
remember
the riddle that was never solved
by camelot

remember
so the Castle keeps the count
remember
so the Homunculus never sleeps
remember
so 1071
remains

violet
forever
