Shifting Frames

The glass once lucid
now deflects glow differently—

a chuckle clenched in the wind,
blanching and flaming—
where were we?

Footprints echo, retreat, advance
sagging floor, missing nails---

not long enough—
like a wheeze folding in and out,
a beam of light held in a still moment.

Sagging floor, nails missing,
steps forth, then retreat—
where were we,
blanching and flaming,
a chuckle loosed in the wind—

now the glass, no longer lucid,
deflects the glow differently.
