Shadows

In a flat world I gazed at zillion Stars twinkling From all horizons, Together with trillion Human beings standing In a circular formation Like chilling survivors Around a bonfire. These stars made All of us visible, Casting our shadows To all directions; Each shadow lay A translucent plane On the ground, Gaining saturation With another. They all met At a point of intersection Where the final hue was mixed, And I saw Absolute darkness.
