Thumbing the pages

 


Shuffling through days

like I'm thumbing the pages

of an old diary. Stained

by years of decay.

Looking for meaning

in the meaningless life,

I left so far away.

Replaced by this life

following invisible stars,

whilst my mind is away

constructing

its own theatrical play.

 

Pained pictures painted

over

yellow stained pages.

In the margins,

scribbled lines.

Left to wither

and die. Faded into history.

The misty fields of time.

Names, dates,

refrains of distant days,

no longer mean anything,

just incomprehensible words,

misheard in a dream.

 

Curiously,

the mixed-up memories

are glorious to me.

The chaos calls me.

cluttered and unstructured.

I see threads unconnected,

stories that need dissecting.

A movie than needs directing

and I'm in the webbing holding

on to strands of hair

from a distant relationship.

Air breathed into my lungs,

so that I wouldn't slip.
