"its an exquisite darkness..."

All the Starbits
gathered inside
- edge to edge
touching - held
all alight - aglow
gleaming bright
the panarama spread

...sprinkled

drizzled, slithered

slathered - spattered
splattered,
tossed, splayed, sprayed,

scattered,
battered...

...Dribble, stipple, swash, bestrew
til this can whisper and swirl anew
and then at midnaught wonder why
the eyes just tear, the heart does cry.

Heart-ticks
tongue-tocks
echoes twist
and furl...
all the rainbows gather round
til its
 only the darkness found
and comes the sound
I turn and see...
the empty mirror -

in front of me.

Reach for the rainbows...Let them shine through the nights..That way the mirror will never reflect just yourself. :)
