shine
She kisses twilight
under neon's watchful eye
hope and happiness brimming under youthful lids
that no longer cup tears
in quiet embraces
 
watched from store windows
crowded halls
sleepy shops of dust and sand
soft snatches of her luminescence
manifest like showroom displays
to bask in a radius
of righteous fluorescence
bystanders in awe
just a little
by the newness
and beauty
of her glow
back...
