splinter

at night
death lies by my side
like a shadow
I dare not look
but I imagine
she is a spherical form
of tiny black dots
a dark mist
in a slender human shape
she reminds me a little of you
when you're dark
and as she lies there by my side
and whispers
of all we could create
out of nothingness
out of the coldest crystals
from the farthest realms of the universe
she places a splinter
deep in a chamber of my heart
with gentle insight
then I try to hold close
what is not of this world
yet longs to be
what does not yet exist
but is just within me
