Sepia orbs.
Warps and wefts.
Streets and flashing frowns.
Atrophied memory lanes.
Whispered trials.
Wounded silences.
A memory that fades noiselessly.
Like the last note of a chord.

Something lingers.
Like the ephemeral fragrance of crushed petals.
Stained fingers,
And the chiming of an age long past.

Something beckons.
Like the murky shadows cast by a dimming sun.
Detached smiles.
And the echo of a discontinuous existence.

Something gnaws.
Creating patterns that recede and ascend.
Clawing gazes.
And the furtive dance of expectations.

You just slipped through my fingers.
And I've paid.
