CLOSE TO ZERO
The moon glides in on the outstretched fabric of blues
Flaunting her silver dress
She whispers tales of secrets and untold truths
The sun whips his last rays of light
stabbing the sky bloody
Once again, he must retreat with no one daring to look him in the eye
His sadness so deep
The sky cancels itself out
As to say that it will not take part in this fight
No, the sun ought to surrender
The moon must take over
The wind has to go cold and the birds must go to bed
Or else, when will we all rest? It shouts
So the sun must bow its head
Retreat to the never-ending loneliness
This is the cue for the moon
She spreads out her hair and lets it fall through the sky
Into our minds
Her sighs surrounding us
The sky slowly turns see-through
so that the stars can finally come out
each of them bringing light into the night
and tales of the many sleeping lives they’ve seen
And I am in a never ending loop
pushed through the atmosphere
and pulled by gravity
Suddenly, I turns still
I have become all and nothing
Her silver hair entangles in my thoughts
Bringing them all to order
So I become day and night
And the ritualized battle
And as I liquify
I become zero
