Timeless Lake

The sun, a melting pocket watch, drips oil into the sea,
Where shadow-fish drink fire and speak in reverse poetry.
A stone-white cloud climbs down to sleep within the burning sand,
As shadows hold the lightning, trembling in a hollow hand.
Ice cubes ignite with emerald flames upon the frozen lake,
While noon and midnight trade their eyes, and both remain awake.
