The Last Couple Frames

I can’t interrogate finality
Without tripping past it’s edge
The last few arduous rituals
Feel as flickering and spent
In a sentimental flush
I’ll miss anything I had
As I sever weighted tethers
To the beloved past

It’s theatre as you breath
It’s harmonies as you feel
But memory is tragically just fractured animation
While this would be the climax of a play
Or a ringing note on stage
Later, it’s just the last couple of frames
Tiny recoils of the motion

Can’t sum anything up

The crumbling edges of a wider swing
Just don’t define us

If there’s meaning in anything
The last time will suck

But that it does means that it doesn’t matter

You’ve built enough
That the last stone won’t add much
