Briefly Sparkling

skip across starlight, they said
to the loss
this ending will only be blue
misfortune from dusk all along
in the back
slinking sharp, never mind
to the grey

to the dark
in the slipstream, you asked
everything growing like weeds
distinct
but entwined, elastic
in dream of eternity unbound
to the light

of candle & starlight
so briefly sparkling
