When the carpet of darkness

covers the cloth of the skylight,

that piece of little heart

can be the moon during the night --

the light during my flight.

Blends personal heartache with abstract night/light symbolism.

Single sentence; meditative pacing with layered imagery.

Melancholic yet hopeful; darkness balanced by light metaphor.

Quiet, flowing language; contemplative rather than kinetic.

Micro poem; single line stretched across visual space.

Rich metaphor and personification; ornamented, symbolic language throughout.

Pure lyric internal voice; intimate first-person emotional reflection.
