Star Features.

I chased this evening
dusk's fading clouds as sunset's
tin-foil silver ribbony strands tied
granite-grey into lace filigree.

I saw skirts of tinted daytime
wave hazy farewell as billowing
dark's in-coming diamanté display
added pale to moon's rising.

I viewed invasive swathes
pierced with fire-bright sparkles
move sky's face as night's shoulder
pocked holes for star features.

I marked time battling to
win ethereal applause and sighed
as striated breath-taking shades took
central stage before day expired.
