See how
The moon hangs in utter darkness,
A smouldering black,
A crack of light
Disappearing almost,
The world paused outside.
See how
Blood’s blue shadow
Barely runs beneath her skin.
See how her eyes glitter
Like fire, wisps of inked
Paper that one day will curl and smoke
Rising into the abysmal fields of
Some star-haunted place, some
Suddenly interrupted, fathomless sky.
