Tsim Tsa Tui Waterfront. 17.12.05. Afternoon.

ever gazed at
sun kissed water
star spangled

ever counted the sparkles
one two three four
there... there one more

rise and fall
small-er and yet small

ever dipped a finger
to pickup the glitter

i picked up one
and put on my lashes
and let it fall
it tasted like a tear
salt sprinkled sparkle

only...
this time it wasn't my own
