remember this map
this was your home
here you were born
here there are mountains
and an angled peak at the crest
the name is lost
here was the lake the streams and rivers filled every year
the names are lost
we lived by this stream here
in a house of two floors
built of brick and wood
with windows of glass
family lived here
and here
and here
another town was here
and here
a city was here
the lake and the mountains are still there
the city and towns are gone
remember where they were
