Unfurling geode. 

Night’s hard shell cracks open. 

Luminescent guts. 

Neon stitches on sky. 

Flickers paint faces. 

Spills of fizzing rainbow 

Flare inside bright eyes. 

Two glowing twilight pearls. 

Pomegranate’s cheek 

Unlatches in nail crescents. 

Sparking embers glint, 

Grinning fire’s red teeth. 

Flames blush hot honey. 

Blood rushing to night’s skin. 

Molten mouth spitting 

Burnt kernels of white star. 

This night echoes with colour. 

This sky burns with song.
