Shooting Star
July 14, 2015
You are the fleeting helicopter in the dark and starless, urban night sky
Illuminating and enthralling
Deceiving young, city men drunk with the hope of new beginnings
Promising to fulfill every archetypal and redolent wish
Leaving just as quickly as you had entered
Elusive . . .
Fading . . .
Out
