Light

Slowly the chair creaks back
Snaps in half
I wince at the sound
Shed a tear
I weap with all my might

The spotlight beam hits the egg
It cracks
The yolk spills
Slowly
First the big yellow ball
Then the clear drops
And we all applaud
Like a show

Sadness moves upon me
Pie is everywhere
There are only two lights left in the world
The moon
And my lantern
The rest is dark

And suddenly
I feel something hot
Mounds of dust shower me
There's no way to get out of the
Dust storm

Why is the light
Slowly going out
And why
Is there a whole in my pillow

Everything freezes
Time just stopped
I feel us going down, down
Deep into a black hole

And then
I see a glimmer of a light wave
The single piece of light dancing around
As the world starts over again
