her light would reflect

Moon blooms like petals through a bulb,
The skies within her break as glass.
Most times she holds cup partway dark — 
Moon blooms like petals through a bulb,
Only close, and open ~then some~ — 
The shadow of her going as
Moon blooms like petals through a bulb
The skies within her break as glass.
