LIKE DANCING CURTAINS

Sometimes the unexpected stirs a sleeping memory.


Poem Artwork

Everyday I pass by

this place

as well as that,

never give a thought

about where I am at,

just me heading somewhere

you know what I mean.

You hear voices

laughter

even Cat issuing scorn,

yet a dancing curtain

at a window

causes Deja Vu.

sends a chill through you

without reason or sense,

for a moment it hurts

you utter silent words

then it all comes back.

A fragment of memory

kneejerked from the past

fractured for a moment

as the curtain danced,

teased you to want to know more

yet as quick as it came

it is no more.

An intriguing look at the daily little mysteries that occur. I'm sure you would like to know at least what her face looked like… Maybe more?
