the futility

the futility
gets me every time
so she told me

during one carefree coffeehouse stroll

i wonder
as she skips away and
crosses the shifting street
her head and heart bravely held high

tonight’ll be
another helpless night
so she warned me

a lamppost night of
scattering butterflies
and skittering fireflies
glowing in warm puffs and lost hugs

waiting for the muggy moonlit hours to crawl

–when will she call?–

she’ll still be
waiting and cradling her fragile composure
tenderly

shakily

futilely

i am your old
photograph

frozen

am i smudged
with your
potato-chip fingerprints?

warped
from your
soda-can condensation?

am i

just another
bookmark
in your superhero fantasies?

another
postcard
flung into the mailbox?

show me

i’m waiting
frozen

for
i’m
afraid
i’ve
been

forgotten

floating

floating
fleeing

fusing

resonating with the submersion
of molecular liquid and light
levitating

meditating

as her illuminating
mermaid eyes
sail forward
into the

infinite
windswept
sea

your tape

your tape

it lulled me

under the warm gaze
of dusty books and boxes
and shelves and jackets
and other misplaced
and replaced
trinkets

odd and ends

piled and packed memories
cradling me

beneath the electric luminescence
of the sparkling ceiling
blanketing me

beneath its fluorescent glow
illuminating me

as your tape
lulled
me
to
sleep

reflections
against the grainy glow
between the unread and unplayed

tick tock
stop

what is captured can no longer be
uncaught

the
falcon
focuses

gliding fearlessly
against mother gravity
her feathers wild in the wind

disarming and deadly

seeking her prey

with talons of
heavenly
fire

slither

slithering into the
corner between the

faded
and
vivid

melting

molting

shedding her spectral skin
at the moment when

randomly
suspended drops
become a

rainbow

the darkness

follows her
like a black velvet
cat

starving and envious

of the sparkling
brightness
in her

darting
eyes

sifting

filters sharply sifting
between
trust and distrust
worth and waste
patience and haste

elements of personality
deconstructed into
blocks of hobbies

spikes
of interest
likes and dislikes

betrayal

once she slams the door
shut

will she ever open it
again

for me?

fallen

fallible
she stares
blankly

hopeless knees
buckle

numbly

against unaffected tiles
against indifferent shadows
against uncaring reflections

her halo of velvet
tumbles
wildly

yet soullessly

in forgotten freedom

her cigarette
her fading fire
her only dreaming beacon

to the distant

heavens

cornered
not captive

her velvet halo soaks up the shadows
and taunts the sunlight

motionless
not frozen

her oceanic gaze steals his waves
his armor cracks

her misty breeze kisses him
and leaves him

broken
