Murmuration of Sparkles

It's a sparkling thing sparkling
water on water fresh on flesh
air on air on air

shimmering fuzz
on and off and always on
and off no scoff no loss

only the permanent spate of expectation
sparkling people sparkling
having a catch

in the throat
guided to saunter
all the way out

of trouble into 
the bubbles at the forehead
of sparkling sparkling time
