glimmering
black lights
brighten –

  run out
and darkness

blemished faces

in shadows forever

make their matches


and hope
will survive.

    weird tenses.
    first stanza is present,
    second is past.
    and i'm confused

    the rest of it is really pretty
    I love the anodes and cathodes thing.
