ANTI-THESIS




It was…
I guess the sun…
Which shone off me

Refracted back
As do knives;off a pumice

It distracted in sparks
But still it touched by me

Translucence echoed my skin
Vaporized in transparency

Could see my blood throbbing
Frantically away from me
Palming out
Out away from me

The sun still sat inside
Danced in sparks
And emitted out
In cries from me

Warm, golden cries

Only the eagle
Perched atop the lowly cliffs
Could respond
If it wanted to

But the stillness above me
Knew it better

I kept breathing in whispers
Each breath sipping me away from me

The golden light still haloed around me
In sunny warmth, making it temperate

It was setting to rise again
Above the throbbing stillness

But then the blue flashed
And I washed my face with you

And I was all cold

Frozen in blue!
