feels like Versailles

feels like Versailles

the crystals

on the chandelier

scatter around light 

the color of hard candies, 

and

I am delirious for 

a moment,

with their sweetness 

upon

my bare shoulders. 

but the night sky awaits

with bated breath

and I shiver a little, 

feeling restless, 

exposed

to the scrutiny of 

all the stars I cannot see.
