moths to a flame / so many days
spent looking at the sun / but why
does the moon feel cold
undone / windows open
into a room with no doors
faces in the glass / smiles
turned inside out / abstractions
of reality / flames to a moth
no doors / windows open
to a life undone
so many suns / light frightens
the eyes / vision turned
inward / undone / revised
everything happens / then
nothing / forgotten
moths circle the light / burn
their lives in a blaze / undone
in a moment of instinct
but why / what force compels
the end / what magic conjures
more than meets the eye
