Ephemera

You and I 
 Are here and gone 
 In the breath of a lie
 In the space of a song

 Overturned and reversed
 By the force of a spell
 In the lull of a curse
 In the toll of a bell

 Instantly changed
 Sown or dispersed
 Our souls rearranged
 In a rueful dirge

 You and I in the rain
 Without eye or limb
 Dislodged and deranged
 We move like the wind
