When I bunch all our photos
and delete you, the device
declares that one hundred and six
MB is freed. It looks like a brief
period, or we didn’t love being
photographed with blue sky
or adorned walls in the milieu.
In the backdrop, it seems, we had
a constant potted cactus.
I smell petrichor everywhere
in the desert and see
a dustless surface after not wiping it
for a week. Those deleted pictures
become an auto-memory.
The act of deletion repeats,
but the contents cleansed gain obscurity.
Oh, rain! Why do I dream it though?
Monsoon makes my guts bleed.
