form and fade
.
playing the part
if only for now
caught
in her
graceful
shadow
as it dances
across the space
of my mind
again
i am swept
by her wake
out
to the deepest
dreaming
sea.
clutterfucked
things disappear
somewhere behind the mind
a junkyard of bits and bolts
as we pretend
the incessant rattling din
is nothing
and go on
about our
forgetting.
