Reflection
By Dawnell Harrison
The reflection of garnets
Darkens in the sullen night
Darkens in the sullen night
Of your eyes.
Once they were little crushed
Diamonds of light.
Your body is a stream
That leaves me holding
Emptiness.
Your eyes are winters
Glazed in ice.
The world whitens
Under the ashes
Of your memories.
