Glabrous

Into the glabrous glass, I plunged
and drenched the neon blood
that flows through the scimitar
of yesterdays flogged;

cold but crystal clear
lambent as candlelights
efflorescing on the surface
of pools with paper kites.

The glabrous glass glistens
like tears left caged
from transparent lenses
compelled to gaze up

The glabrous glass glistens
like boulevards subjected
to be the muse of the rain;
too ephemeral to be regarded
till it captures the streetlights
and grapples the paint brush
that will make it eternal.
