Shattered Glass
glass shattered glittering bright
broken fallen stars
one wish spent on molten sand
gleaming eyes
shuttered as never before
watch
limbs
pump
speed
fevermares galloping
static merges
spills into
rending
dreams
unfold like binary trees
sprouting from two-railed logical
ground
and
power
raising magnificent castles from
valleys and mountains
deliberately built
of
carefully polluted
crystal
shadows
swallowed
sound
soothing
silence
shifts
left
then right
inhuman grace
angelic skill
and the IQ of a
stoat
ravening
brings
down
the
night
and stars glitter
broken
on concrete
