Living, Memory & Act

Interestingly, the nineteenth entry into my song-inspired poem series (this one!) was inspired both by ‘Lust For Life’ by Iggy Pop, which I’ve embedded below, and also another poem from this series. I’d consider this poem to be something of a ‘sister poem’ to Paper Memories, which was, in turn, inspired by ‘Mess’ by Real Friends. Both of them have memories and remembrance at the core, but I think they explore that theme in slightly different ways, while still being quite complementary to each other, especially towards the end of this one. In any case, I hope you enjoy this one!
