Deep behind the stained claws that are its ribcage
you came.
Your mace smashed through my glass walls
the walls you helped me forge.
'Its eyes! They still glow with that sickly sepia hue that its mind must have mistook for bronze! Your eyes aren't yellowed too, are they?'
you say before
planting your thumbs like seeds under the bags of my eyes to inspect my irises.
'Back
off!' I yell.
'You can't make us another mayfly! Blurry has our collective perception always been until now! Now Clarity has come!'
your nonsense spews
out of you
still.
Honey leaks from the sides of my eyes, though they remain open, fixated on you.
'Faith—
'Fool!' you've silenced me now.
But you're just as weak as I.
It slips,
meets the bottom
of the well like a misplaced
coin.
Now, its body merely shrivelled parchment paper
sits on a chair
facing a block of jelly
that has been stabbed
with two glossy candles,
burnt under the light of the moon.
There goes the shooting star that its eyes were meant to see.
