an urban blast,
flurries of dispelled air
brushing through the trees
breathing
over the city
as the clouds fly overhead.
her eyes are tired, dry;
the ice leaves many footprints
she watches
the times parade by
acted out again
in the very same spot
just because.
it all sits in a dream
that lives in her mind
dancing through the confusion
lightly
fairy dancers
in a motley parade.
the world is just a story
open to elaboration
invention, creation
addition
here and there
of a little touch of
magic.
she looks so much younger
when she sings.
little lullabyes
twinkled away by the wind.
he would have stood
just there;
he would have smiled
just so
if this were tomorrow,
yesterday,
any other time in the world.
her time
twirls around her face
gliding through the hourglass
sunlit and sparkling
as she enjoys
the wind, the chill
the goodness and the warmth.
she sleeps,
through the fury
around her.
she looks so much younger,
had you noticed?
