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?
