Slip

sea12

How is this gone?

Right before my eyes

Like borrowed time 

you never get back

Like a shell in the ocean

Swept out right before you catch it

Like dropped pixie dust

For someone else to pick up

Like the winning game point

Made by the other team 

 

The clock runs out

The pixie dust spills

The shell tumbles

The eyes close
