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.
