moonrays float down
like glitter
and cover my sheets
everything softly sparkles
glowing perfectly.
its almost as if
i could close my eyes
and with a slight
smile
and tilt
of the head
drift up
on moon’s shafts
further and further from the world
insincerity slipping
from my arms
the wrinkle vanishing
from my brow
the weight lifting
from my eyes
a tight bound cloth has been
wrapped around my arms
but i have been released
to the sea and the stars
the sky and the land
the waves in the ocean
and the ripples in the clouds
swallowed sunshine
the last days of summer.
my empty cup filled
my empty eyes lighted
my hollow heart
now ablaze.
and it doesn’t
burn me.
