tiredofvampires Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 MAGIC MIRROR Just like you the moon wakes me from disturbed somnolence. Smudged out of a dream, at what hour I can’t guess, I sense the upside-down glow just beyond my curtains. Climbing upwards through the motions, I pull aside our shabby separation, and there, bare in the window as a lone carved jewel on the breastbone of night, it holds a soft field of amber captive. It’s secret power is its rising without announcement, its visitation clandestine, half-masked and obscure in the tavern of abandoned hours when all things have ceased clamoring. But this waning face awakens to its own presense, unafraid to shine alone with stars standing back; it’s underside, a teardrop about to fall any moment, suspended as a magic mirror of light that does not exist here. Just like you farther than the fulcrum of earth, risen only for a brief time, from the other side of space, this stillness cries out to me. Nothing is as hushed as the edge of the world hovering between two dreams. I let the curtain fall and I fall, too, back into not knowing. Just like you a ticking taps at the corners of consciousness, tells me something has just happened I’ll never sleep through again. That same pristine spot draws my eyes open, they grope once more. But this time, just like you, it has disappeared and left a vacant dark. This time, no more, too late, as the last train departed, you’ve stolen away. Our low-hanging zenith together has passed. You’ve gone along. The horizon has claimed you somewhere, when I was under. Though a strange empty brilliance holds you still, phosphorescing. Thank you for waking me to say goodbye. And just like you, the dawn must be on its way; but I don’t know what to do with it or how to start. Link to comment
