Aftermath

jsweddingcollage.jpg

Like any gathering of people happy, of people loud and joyful
There will always be an end.
The sound of hands clapping gives way to the wind.
and the voices no longer contend.

Sounds distance themselves into oblivion.
All you have left are the memoirs of a stage.
All you have is an empty act, with no scene to follow
Where once stood him, and her, in his gaze

So tangible it was seemingly so, so visible in memory.
Minutes ago it may have been. Or hours, hours?
A difference that matters? No one could even tell.
Over is over, and an aftermath is all that begins.

    don’t we all pass our days in this aftermath. hmm. do aftermaths come in different colours?
    bittersweet orange, silent teal, repressed crimson, naive buttercup.
