of us and what resembles
of us and what resembles
a flashy dress that hurts the eye but a fantasy to see,
a dainty souvenir from a cousin’s wedding that mom forgot to bring home,
a sparkler firework that flickers barely longer than a minute,
a childhood best friend you bumped into while you’re running late,
a day-off on a Tuesday or a Thursday;
all exciting,
none meant to last long,
yet still, the throbs are essential to the heart.
