it happened too fast
the magic of the moment gone
into oblivion
as quickly as it had arrived
the reverberation echoed
penetrating her core
held in limbo
wondering, what happened?
a window shattered
spewing fragments of glass
caramel macchiato
splattering whipped cream across her lap
the din turned to noise
confusion palpable
cinnamon buns
burning sweetness into her nostrils
a hand on her head
applying pressure
wet cheeks
salt on her lips
time passed, hopeful
turning forever tragic
consciousness lost
a memory in chaos
Then peace.
