I saw thee go by
A fleeting presence
crossing my eyesight
A foregone conclusion
this present is
.
I felt the fractures
drawn
on the kitchen curtains
drawn to me
A
present
foregone
your ghost
of a second ago
a moment now lost
yet ingrained
in my memory.
This ordinary event
you were just passing by after all
made my world turn ever so slowly
slowmotionwise
I realized
or smelled the roses
till paranoia struck
dark forces
drew their nasty sword
cut in two
un presagio
no deseado.
y
e
t
the fleeting millisecond unstained
by the dark
illuminated
a memory I hold
at a cost of course
such
is
life’s tapestry.
