A Flicker of Light
her thoughts flicker
like that old streetlamp
awaiting to cast shadows
of passerby's that never come
the streets are silent
like a mind without a voice
as she scribbles
amidst the darkness
her thoughts
on a stage
without a crowd
black against black
her words tumble
downward
casted out
in shadows
unseen
unheard
she bleeds poems
where words form
like tears in corners of eyes
as she gasps
breathless
beneath stormy skies
without an audience
she falls within the silence
as crumpled paper
piles on the ground
all around her
she peers
at the moonless sky
and realizes
somehow it shines
brighter than her
