You are the essence of
luminescent tail lights
penetrating impending night
- entirely too intense,
emitting a preternatural glow -
mesmerizing, hypnotizing
those left behind
to comprehend this trick of twilight.
You are incandescence
defying distance,
seemingly too close
- the perfect red radiance
of blood at dusk -
the transformation of receding dreams
into advancing beams
of phenomenal possibility
like you, me, and us.
