sister of the muse of
lights
prismatic spectral play
of pleasant dreams
in her land’s ivory tower
where her dark sister has
been fended off
from entering her domain
her light as strong
even shadows will flee
their spine stripped
to their calcified lies
with continual pain –
she flees with the winged
help of insects
who’ll grow colourful
leafy spots around
her lithe body
while her other life
extends a delicate finely
spun web
of a balancing act
in the trapeze of well-
known spheres –
light-lady will draw
from her dark-sister
all goods she had to
abandon
for pirate forces:
clothing/furnished home/
creative work/ but most
importantly
her luminescent body of
crystalline shine
will blend out all tragic
scenes
of human life.
