~
I hope I become
  some part
of memory

somewhere
  of someone
a snapshot of mind

an image
  a record
a minuscule sign

I too then
  shall last
beyond
  my just measure

a slit so affixed
  a fitted
assigned

no name,
  need remember
no facts,
  there attached

just an image
  of me
of some kind

when gone
 I will still
somehow engender

what more
  can one ask
from all time?
