fights her way through forests
of shadowed beings
Dimly disappearing cusp,
the darkness drinks its last sips
of amber
Spheres spinning so fast none saw
the movement, as vertigo, camouflage
in dancing shadows, the coins spin
The same two choices,
flashing rims and eye lids
make vertigo
Below bodies levitate between
the same two choices
quintessence finds the balance
between particle and wave,
reflecting accord on a fulcrum
or where to draw the line
between light and dark spaces.
