I Can’t Remember

I can’t remember
skipping rocks on the beach
My childhoods forgotten
My childhoods lost.
Going to the doctor
Making mud cakes
Playing with friends in the street.
I can’t remember
All the bereavement
My childhoods forgotten
My childhoods lost.
The doctor doing surgery
Me getting pain pills
I can’t remember any of it
None of it’s clear.
I still can’t remember,
How it’s gone
My childhoods forgotten
My childhoods lost.
