Memories
Memory fills my body
as much as blood and bone.
The Testament of Mary Colm Toibin
I step into them each day
and they linger
in dreams. They wait
for a chance to
retell their story.

Just so. Memories wait to be retold as story.
Colm Toibin has written a mesmerizing and for me, at least, terrifying story of Mary. Having read some of his other work, he seems to be rather hard on mothers.
Have you read his collection Mothers and Sons?
