Flicker

Snapshots of a love once loved.

Chewing up the dust,
Gliding swiftly in that
Black, German insect
Of a car,
Rose-tinted windscreen.

Flicking skirt,
Dazzling smile,
Kicking heels,
Devilry.
Innocence.

Piercing eyes,
Loose connection,
Poison laced
With sugar,
Devil’s Advocate.

Sunglasses,
Holiday romance,
Meaningless dance,
Drunken kisses,
Unwelcome morning.

Snapshot,
Blackpool,
Sun, sea, sand,
Candyfloss,
Pepper.

After burn,
Afterglow,
Sparkle,
Bite,
Sting.
