city lights
I watch you
I see you move
imperceptibly
I know
I see
I watch
People stare
seeing parts
seeing one glowing orb
spreading from a pinprick somewhere
deep within
radiating smooth
unassuming
clear
they stare
and they think
they see you
solid
unwavering
I see you
I see your whole being
you struggle to maintain it
you flicker
here and there
you pulse with life
I see that you are alive
veins of light
ready to collapse
one day
not today
they see you as forever
I see that you are alive
I watch you
