Hold an illusion
up, to the light,
between fingers.
like steam rising
from the rim
of a coffee cup
from long ago.
The wings of a dragonfly
waiting to be let go.
it won't
be free
would'nt fly much far
anyway
broken, meant
to be broken someday.
fragile. like
the illusion you held on to.
Did you laugh just now?
When the ashes became dust
like that cigarette
you left to burn out.
so carelessly, unfelt.
Did you laugh just now?
or am I faking a memory?
tracing a new illusion
in spilt wine
to hold on to.
Did I laugh
just now?
