Flitter, fly away, and flee – that’s all you ever were to me.

Unconvinced, too contrived, too musical, you say?

Hard to catch, hard to hold, too hard like a mold?

Then why, oh why, do you stay?

Tut, tut, hushabye, drink in sweet lullabies for the mirror so empty and cold.

*If you are somewhere cooler than 107 F, send some dollops of cold, sweet sanity my way, if you please…
