Memory Staccato

By Crush_With_Eyeliner

Speaking in
clipped staccato
rhythms;
I'll perform this
long elegy
with only
fractured memories
to keep time.

In any event,
It will mean
nothing
when the
thing's done.

    Very clever; love the twisted staccato ending. The formation. Like clipped moth wings. Well done.
