Romance

Reflection

will distort this moment—

 

(an oasis

in the desert of memory)

 

the simple

wonder of the instant diminished

 

as gemstones

depreciated by display upon

 

a gold band.

 

 

Focus fades

in inching instants

 

(a shutter

slowly closing over a lens)

 

and we

imperceptibly surrender

 

clarity

to these evanescing essences of

 

youth and reminiscence.
