Apr 5
She rises and falls with the rain
As clouds part, her neon glows red hot
Made more brilliant by endless falling fractals;
Magnified by millions.

Gracefully she dances off stage, obscured.
I adjust my position to catch a glimpse
All but a quiet hum is heard as
She pirouettes into view
A new shade of flush pink.

Made darker by fallen tears shed,
She is remembered best in this present moment.
Silk sheets glisten as wine bottles clatter
Rocked by the duet of the headboard and wall.

I gasp as the tings and dings of the music box below her feet slow to a crawl.

The notes resolve as
her figure glides gently to a rest.
She is unwound.
