You are right. My memory is playing tricks on me. Maybe I should take some time 
off. And this was a recent post you made that had the phrase in it that I 
remembered incorrectly, you were referring to your nemesis.

Yes you may. That is what I did post hoc here, to my dismay.

There are days when 
one should be able 
to pluck off one's head 
like a dented or worn 
helmet, straight from 
the nape and collarbone 
(those crackling branches!)

and place it firmly down 
in the bed of a flowing stream. 
Clear, clean, chill currents 
coursing and spuming through 
the sour and stale compartments 
of the brain, dimmed eardrums, 
bleared eyesockets, filmed tongue.

And then set it back again 
on the base of the shoulders:
well tamped down, of course, 
the laved skin and mouth, 
the marble of the eyes 
rinsed and ready
for love; for prophecy?
