You Some Kind of Holographic

Refracting spectral shivers, fraying
not at the edges, with no protective

sleeve handy except memory, light
bounces gently off of knee, scatters

into giddy-up destinies, reflecting
what's best. Colossal odds never

collided with propriety. Statistics bodied
by linguistics. Peering over edge

of sleep, seeing ocean-swept rays
steer the ship transporting volatile

fate, never guaranteed or even likely.
Adrift for days wondering how cells

were compelled to meet at the rendezvous,
establishing you. This sort of rarified

grace topples insufficient recollection,
your limited-edition visage defies

collection, make no mistake my intentions,
though scattered and unsure, reconvene

to craft this hieroglyphical mirror
cracked with the colors of my eyes,

so you might see how dazzling, elegantly
distorted, how disarmingly radiant

your vessel, a-flutter with sky-glitter,
your smile a window through rainbow.
