 Confetti


I fall like confetti

raining softly down from endless skies

my life a series of fluttering moments

ghostly in their swarm

edges vague, melding into one

no longer from another

points of focus run ragged

mad pictures

sweet voices

coalescing for a moment

on to the next

memories like dreams

there one moment

        gone the following

never quite there

        hovering around the periphery

waiting for the blade-sharp moment

       of clear

             vibrant

                         clarity

that cycles like a movie

or creeps

         silent below the surface

biding time

dark and bright

beautiful and vicious

there and gone

        again

fog overwhelming

I fall to retreat

and let it go

let the mists slip through my hands

from my mind
