Silver Thread

For a few hours the whole round world is covered by the bluest light, silvery metallic, countless drops

light all around us

Match in the dark

if you are

Obsessed with light

Then the darkness will stalk you

Apex predator night

Until you

Strike the first match

Chemical explosion

So small you might discount it

Unless…

Light, for instance

Poured out like a drink offering

Through trees in the summer sky

Why is it following me? The boy asks

Because it loves you

His mother speaks of metonymy

And the moon?

Why does it follow me?

Same reason, of course

Love.
