We

inside my chest is the pop and sizzle of a firecracker. can you see its gleam in my eyes? can you see the burns that it's left in my mind? does my smile light up to you the way the moon shines on earth? does my touch fill you up? does my light shine upon you? are you full? are you full? are you full the way i am empty? with my head on your lap your supple fingers entangled in my hair i reflect your love. are you empty? empty, like the way i am searching? too dim am i to be seen from the farthest reach of your galaxy. once my light was blinding, and what was reflecting left we two eyeless. once i was diminished and we sat in the dark, two mirrors reflecting infinitely off of each other. but when i sit with your head in my lap my fingers entangled in your hair is there a glimmer there?
