"Flotsam/ Jetsam, It is so Dear Me"

by Cristy M.

Day-holes: a phenomenom
when the minutes exercise vanshing acts

wells of things that happen,
things that just melt into "then."
Warps of time-space but memories
of this-and-thats we've collected
so there is nothing remaining of fact,
dispelled by passing.

We are moment-by-moment
such fiction of stuffs that "maybe you said,"
or maybe not.

Can we capture into photographs?
Every single one, some soundwave
that our day-holes are frequencied-off of.
And they are not of butterflies with us
running around holding nets with too-small holes
to get out of

and they are not spaghettis from the pot
when we're putting them in strainers
so we can serve them water-less on the plate.
They just go
and gone
and that is all
and there is no "show me proof" to show or
model for an audience of disbelief.

So light and whimsical, yet there is a undercurrent of seriousness that wants to hold on to these minutes. Your imagery is excellent!
