Perched, in the glimpse of a moth;
Your eyes, sooty black with shadows,
Of countless sleeping stars;
Refusing to twinkle, for night carries,
Its own radiance, its own cadence.

    Is it the eyes or the stars that won't twinkle? I love the uncertainty.

    night carries,
    Its own radiance, its own cadence.

    Even for insomniacs, eh? :-)
