[Poem] O Vivid Fleeting Self.

[Shot From Hirokazu Koreeda's "Afterlife". Most Certainly Fitting]

"O vivid fleeting self"

O vivid fleeting self

is it a trance 

you could tell

Sprained you are

and I, distraught 

of this unceasing,

rampant naught

words wouldn't tell

eyes wouldn't see

is there a bereaver

for such company?

spare, spare, 

spare anew

Dost thou not know

a remembrance due

O vivid fleeting self

I do know

I can tell

all hath come

both misery, hell

and standeth I

unhol-ly dyed 

victim victim

I had lied

Sad vision

An impoverished life

youth though

a godly blessing

seers through

Distressful stressing

O vivid fleeting self

I know now

I'll know again

Back then,

Now

And back again

'twas always I

At my own refrain

Had, hath and

Shall always have

I upon myself 

Totally, fully, and more over

I, I, an I all over.
