Glimpse of Tomorrow

She absorbed the last minutes,

running almost backwards,

engraving shapes of memories

through up and down swirling confusion

in calm conviction to the unknown.

Just one more time she made the bed

under spring blossoms.

Unheard words served at breakfast,

which would never taste the same.

Careless fluorescing shots squealing

through the maze of remembrance,

tiredly fall in overly small suitcase-

she tries to save some space for all.

Gently picking her valued,

lovingly brushing the time,

seeping through her fingers,

she carefully covered the childhood

with a blanket of stars,

washed her feet in the ocean

and became her tomorrow.
