whenever fire consumes blank canvases and your eyes
blossom across the silence
of syllables of mirrors
in continuous and uncertain reproduction
face to face until infinity

A blade

an insane edge of death
slitting through a nervure in space
where the topography of heaven is phosphorescent
across from the dahlias and the searchlights

Death is a cold thing, a distant well
with the hollow shape of the hand of men

A reservoir

where jealousy leaves incandescent flames
fierce
and illuminating

No water is like it
No wind so cold

as when your eyes are all that is left

and the blade

This is good poetry and you are to be applauded for attempting such a difficult challenge as I failed miserably!
