one moment there they were
sparkling, shining
they tempted
uphill they lay
arduous, breathless
she climbed
the next moment: gone
clueless, traceless
they vanished
she stopped short
perplexed, vexed
she blinked
she let go
she fell
she crashed
back into reality
for everything she saw
was simply, illusory
