afterthoughts

by Tim J Bono

I am an afterthought
in your head
I stand alive
to define the dead

I was a twilight flicker
in a gasping terror
I was a reflection sinking
in a shattered mirror

I'll leave a tear
born of your eye.
Your lips my runway
Your beauty. My goodbye.

Beautiful. The associations can never die. They do appear and disappear to reappear again, energized by the charge of the associations.

Have you ever noticed how some of those afterthoughts begin to take on a life all their own? I have, strangely enough... alisa ;-)
