beauty is a moment

One afternoon, you sit there, in a daze, waiting.
You want to get back to that original beauty.
But only the final loss.

Beauty is a moment.
In that moment you stand outside your life.
Then you are drawn back into life.

I want to go back and give you a hug.
You are too far
and I am too tired.

I went to someone else's wedding.
You hid the ring, and
only I saw the incomparably clear imprint.
You smile and
I will send you flowers.

I turn around.
At that moment I saw the afterlife.
You are in front of me
with the mark of sorrow on the ring finger.
