The Boy with Glass For Eyes

I wish I could take the colors from a rainbow
and place them into your heart
so you would remember what beauty feels like
and know there is hope in the dark
-Christy Ann Martine

Luka is alone.
the kelpie seems friendly enough
cold hands pull him away from the water's edge.
The hands belong to the man with the dandelion eyes.
Luka is not alone.

Kheelan wants to be alone.
The forest seems dark enough.
The hand he grabs is warm.
the hand belongs to the boy with crystal tears.
Kheelan doesn't want to be alone.
