Centerpiece

The party’s over. Zig zag across the empty room. Full of day-locked memories and my movie screen. The night we walked together keeps getting ripped open for me, over and over, long ago when I was young. My closeup: curdling into a domestic sequence. If I keep moving forever, I’m like a scene in a snow globe. I mined your history for artifacts: your grand sighing, your personality. Well it isn’t yours. The movie of your life, I play you.
