Brink Part Two

Skater on black ice,
sheds a ghostly light,
under dark charcoal sky 
they weep and spin 
in magic bold rings 
but shriek with laughter
when sonic bells peal
as the nocturne candle 
flicker of spectators peer
at bright figure swerves
of glow worm carousel 
fly-by-night dream
mutters from lone star
lost in foggy curtain 
encircled by pier echos
hypnotic peak hour veil
deep inner self idol 
an otherworld eye feast
captured on spooky lens
enigma at its zenith
