Give the silence its due
It shines, it shimmers
It dies in a whisper
Never too far from the rim
It glitters in the palm of the hand
It splits the night
Like a slit in the eye
A light through a thin slot
It shimmers, hesitates,
Runs ragged raged, whole
Then a whisper in space,
Silence names the void
It shines through a slit in the dark.
