Regrets

A window opened … and became our world.
Endless events transpired as single breaths of air within its hurricane and … 
we paid them no mind.

... but: They left small, faint, unconscious marks.

As the Events Hurricane slows to a slight breeze, the marks of the past …
Are discovered, pale and out-of-focus

… we try desperately to recall the events they represent.

Only rarely do we succeed …

‘Tis then Regret makes its impact known.
