A Lake of Starry Sky

…poured out mirror still

I return to this place
to where they rest
the caliginous flames
of my regret
a lake of starry sky
poured out mirror still

moon-washed paths
ebony night

duplicitous dreams
dark shadows drifting
like lilies sleeping
under winter white
unseen in the light
my heart drifts with them
