Rays reign cosmic

rays reign cosmic
a tell tale semiotic
tiller to fountains
defined by every thirst
each drop licked
each tongue dipped

limbs shaded by stones of white
hands stained by oozing skies
ashen cold fires of the dying stars
a staple diet of rotten insides

signs rest lazily
on firefly tokens
ears pierced shimmer
inky ways of words
interstellar chimes
Luna's false alarms

eyes closed in sights unsealed
in wavering lights of chilly blues
crystal wells of broken flames
lie silent untouched upon the tomb

sprayed across the ways
milky paths of hunger
motionless frozen
satiate no curves
each beam a seam
of a cloth not chosen
