It's All Ephemeral (poem)

It’s All Ephemeral


At the worlds largest antique store
I found Jayne, the poetess,
Inside the thin cardboard
Record album cover.
Her words
On typed paper
Celebrating snowflakes
From twenty years ago

She won awards, was published.

Something tugs inside
And I am unable
To throw Jayne away

So, she stays in my collection
Of moldering papers,
The turntable spins and sputters
Reminding me
It’s all ephemeral.
