Photo Manipulation by Zulkarnain Ismail
Sunset swims through the pines
turning bark into pink fins chasing light
deeper into shadows.
Waves of evening splash across my face
transforming my skin into ghost paths
for night dreams to wander.
Alone I wait for stars to break through needles
framing clouds above me, and wonder if my eyes
are a bold enough mirror to steal the moon’s reflection.
