Fractured ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #201

All these moments
Become fractured memories
Altered with time

In a mind
Bent on manipulating them
To serve the present

Sometimes
The beauty
Of a moment
Takes the work
Out of the job

So I seek the beauty
In every moment

Every time I reach
Just a little beyond my grasp
I imagine myself a tower
With the pinnacle in my hand

All the world’s aflutter
For little girls
Fistfuls of birdseed
Their indiscriminate chaos

Such are the conditions
Of beautiful perfections

Laughter is the best
Medicine which means comics
Make the best healers

In the heat of the afternoon
Cafes and conversation
The men of the medina
Cling to the shade
While the tourists
Do not

Sometimes I squint
To smudge the world
Within my mind

Then paint upon
The softened scene
A different

Kind of magic
