Prismatic, platinum noon
Language: English
Prismatic, platinum noon
Emerges from the liquid gold of dawn,
And iridescent daylight lifts its head
To watch the dusk descend—
And holds its breath in awe.
Awakening stars do a darkening dance,
Skimming the tops of spindle trees
Sketched against the rosy sky—
Scattering seeds of light
To all the winds of night.
