All radiance, untrue;
unbearable beauty
unbearable.
What begins before
light, before flesh,
before virtue?
Empty spaces, opposing
walls, an ancient,
dangerous secret...
a bloodless eye
with fingers.
In the dark, he left
out food expecting
to attract a different
creature, one filled
with asteroids
and quiet stars
skin so shiny
he could see himself
looking back
even at night.
