he drew his eyes across her figure

as if to reimagine her person

yet she was no figure at all

mere a phantom

slender in the night for none could spectate

nor others grasp

she danced in darkness and in light

and she was invisible as a ghosted woman

herself a spectator at eternity

then blackness ruled the stars

extinguished

he drew his eyes across her figure

and she danced in darkness and in light
