He remembers open skies, the moist smell of water vapour transubstantiating into cloud.

He remembers the world multiplied and subtracted at the same time, steel cardboard, rock putty.

He remembers the intoxication of steel muscles, bullet momentum, star high bounds.

He remembers the glory of the normal life, sun core warmth at a little more truth and justice.

He remembers her.

He wants to forget.
