Vapor Trails

Tattered curtains dance
in the twilight wind
of memory
like ghosts on the
grave of your breath

this half-heart rhythm
falters in torpid assonance

skips


a

beat


where unwhispered hopes
linger on
in moldering attics,
tucked away in
chapping dresser drawers,
and stuffed behind rafters

we shall evanesce
in oceans of longing
