if I could take that moment
copy it
to a hard drive
capture it
on silver halide
drown it
in formaldehyde
freeze it
in liquid nitrogen
carve it
into a marble block
draw it
on the walls of a cave
bury it
under the sea floor
encase it
in sticky amber
write it
into the mass of an electron
weave it
into the fabric of spacetime
dream about it
one more time
or wipe my memories clean
and live it again
I would.
