A lifetime in one day
clouds toss the sun about
and the wind bats the sail
how oppressed you feel
As a ribbon stretches
across my page
shiversilver in afternoon light
shafting through tinted glass
of tramstop topwindow
and the whole patchwork years
unfurl in a breezy
meadow like a picnic blanket
or a dancing plastic bag
pick the spots
glinting rivers and
sequin puddles shining
moments, vignettes, entire novels
maybe mundane but it never felt that way
the sky up there so grey
full of snow and rage
Today’s GloPoWriMo prompt: write something that involves a story or action that unfolds over an appreciable length of time.
