Sequins

Blinging, bleeping, bedazzling

Resonance across my chest

Ricochetting, radiance of sounding

Light landscape across concert stadium

Mirrored reflections on my skin

The shimmers repeat all around me

In waves of fabric bejeweled swirls

On skirts of all the girls & Swifty moms

Moving me like a sparkly word

That rises off the pearly page, then twirls

A word that glimmers—takes me for a ride

A midnight ride into a poem

That I remember from the future

A poem written by the glitter of its wake

The sequins coating my skin

In midnight rain of starlight

Pouring through the collective consciousness

Like flickering drops of the ocean

Topping my birthday candles

Tonight, wrapping my hips

Tickling the backs of my bare knees

Like cosmic hands on my brave shoulders

And on the vulnerability of my back

Sequins encircle me in halos arousal

Tint-tillating Halos of bluegreen light

Our reputations built on a flickering—

Our perceptions living in quantum skin

Our brief time here,

Flickering in & out of existence

Momentary bursts of bright

In the vast bluegreen of midnight

Catching our beauty in glances

Our essence, like the sequins on this dress

The Shimmering reality of this wild life

PS

I will celebrate your precious life

wearing sequins to your funeral

please wear them to mine and

know that I had the best day with you,

you, you today~dancing through life
