Bubbles

At the time it seemed
They would laaaaast
For
Ever
My girls floated in space around me
All beads and braids and giggles and ballies
And I’d dip my wand into a late night of creating fractal wonders atop their heads
Blow a little more love through the eye
Bubbles glittering around me like a country night sky
So much best so much dark so much bright in their aspects
At the time it seemed
We would laaaaaaast
And one day there was a last
Bubble of childhood
Women sprung from each surface where the last bubbles landed
Iridescent souled
Graceful armed
Brilliant headed
Women
All dreams and hearts and keys and planning
And I lay my wand down
In a pool of memories
I don’t know how the four of us made it but I know it was more than magic
And I know each bubble was a million blessings.
