By Starlight

[marsh relic]

Burning dust, a fixed fierce eye
storms in the sky
bouncing from cloud to cloud,
a bright silver dip, fire-tipped
among the mist of May.

Eyes milky-drunk agape, dizzy
by such dazzling burst,
dreams flare under the moon’s glare;
fluent and purple-bound,
my diamond-shaped beacon
glows and glows—
stoked by such greater distance,
a god distance
strapped with white light.

Flexing in its nebulous path
as the earth envies
that beam-scorched ball—
mouth-hole ajar as I wave
to its power, dance, and love.

damnn i really like the 2nd stanza "my diamond-shaped beacon glows and glows—" bc of the way the line breaks and repeats. "glows and glows" feels endless, hypnotic, like yre watching smt that refuses to fade. and then "stoked by such greater distance" the farther away it is, the more it fuels you. that's a strange and lovely paradox ngl.. also the 3rd stanza "mouth-hole ajar as i wave to its power, dance, and love" — there's smt vulnerable ab that. mouth open. not speaking. just witnessing. just waving at smt so sm bigger than you. and dancing anyway
