Tilt-A-Whirl |
My phantom brother came to me |
His backlit face was hard to see |
I couldn’t move, I couldn’t scream |
You can’t un-hear Beethoven’s 5th |
This human heart’s an aggregate |
Competing feelings so disparate |
And strange |
Life’s a solitary song |
No one to clap or sing along |
It sounds so sweet and then it’s gone |
So suddenly |
My aging mother steeled herself |
Against the gravity she felt |
Braced for another fainting spell |
Fell in her mind through a trap door |
We picked her up off of the floor |
When she came to her throat was sore |
And she spoke |
Life’s a game of solitaire |
Amusement rides at county fairs |
The Tilt-A-Whirl of our despair |
Ends suddenly |
Where’d it go? |
Life’s a lonely love affair |
Kaleidoscope beyond compare |
It vanishes into thin air |
So suddenly |
