I caught my eyes in the gold-flecked mirror And paused to trace the diameters. What should have appeared nearer Developed its own parameters. I paused to trace the diameters, And discovered the golden flakes Developed their own parameters And coalesced opaque. Upon discovery, the golden flakes Formed a cloud inside my iris And coalesced opaque, A golden plague or virus. A cloud formed inside my iris And obstructed the view of the sun. A golden plague or virus Traipsing like a legion. Clouds obstructed my view of the sun So night seemed to stretch beyond Traipsing across the horizon like a legion And elicited in me a muted response.

Moment of Waking
I caught my eyes in the gold-flecked mirror And paused to trace the diameters. What should have appeared nearer Developed its own parameters. I paused to trace the diameters, And discovered the golden flakes Developed their own parameters And coalesced opaque. Upon discovery, the golden flakes Formed a cloud inside my iris And coalesced opaque, A golden plague or virus. A cloud formed inside my iris And obstructed the view of the sun. A golden plague or virus Traipsing like a legion. Clouds obstructed my view of the sun So night seemed to stretch beyond Traipsing across the horizon like a legion And elicited in me a muted response.
