He held radical light
to moon’s somber stare;
Night’s bright
diminished-
Taking backseat in a cab
heading polar;
Up north and downtown.
Somewhere dark.
He breathed cold brilliance in;
Addict’s winter;
snow filled air
Yielding melodies
to dense beats.
Music stopped;
Time raced…
Erased.
He spoke hard liquid
through wide eyes;
Tongue flailing,
Mouth jawing,
Body failing,
To wet ground.
He heard color flash;
Blue,
Red,
Blue,
White,
Red,
Blue,
White,
Red,
White.
White.
White.
He felt silence enter.
White.
White.
Black.
He held radical light.
