What is it that makes me find
everything so strikingly beautiful -
a period of time in which I saw
the glint of night upon an endless shore
of dirt and leaves and pavement
lit up with bright lights like christmas
burning up the evening
a violent dissolution
when there’s nothing left,
and no one who remembers -
we’ll know all is just illusion.
