A Manipulated Glow

Cast a thin cascade –
translucent whim –
whispered shade –
dome it over all –
spider web umbrella –

see the tiny shadowed
textures it suggests
below – celebrate
the lent complexities
of a manipulated glow –

borrowed for the time
light takes to alter sight:
believe that everything
you see is true. Tell me
that it isn’t you.
