what was that thought?

what was that thought
that snaked
in night's subconsciousness revelries
as the body turned and tossed

remember the parched throat
and the drink that assuaged it

remember to remind self
to remember it
as have lost so many thoughts
to the glare of the unmerciful sun

as i stare











at the screen












and sip
what was steaming hot once





and try to retrieve that lost thought
and made a promise to self
to keep a pad and pen handy

and
smiled
have made that promise
so many times...
