drenched in the hollow moonless night

i see your gaze in the southern stairs of the distant stars

wildfire pulsating and impaling through my chilling heart



gracefully float in flight beneath the flashing lights

reach and touch my aching bony hands

gently lifting and entangling as we dance



pull me in closer towards the balustraded balcony  

dip me eternally into the starry night

while the world coats us onto its glossy acrylic canvas in admiration
