Strike a match and light your sky
And stars will swirl like sparklers
Cart wheeling towards a black hole
Like neglected relics
Under-wrought
Outdated
Nothing inside catches
Your eye eclipses both Mercury and Venus
Overshadowing the meteor belt
Of a heart haunted by past partners
Who wallowed unprotected
And nasty
Throw a match
Burned out and exhausted
Into a galaxy
Where grit gathers grit
And true strength fades like fashion
The left side of your face holds special effect of neon blush
The right
Fabricated beauty of
Dishonor and vanity but at least for yourself
Frame all the light you can
