February 9

Re-tar the torches, arrange the incense -
the party is about to start.
Put on your headress
the one with the gemstones -
i've angled all the mirrors to catch the light,
your head will dazzle with the fire of a thousand stars!
you are sure to stun them,
go on.
you're so good at this.

oh my friend, don't you realize,
my retinas will be burned with glory too -
i will not be able to recognize the guests
but only stand aloof,
smiling through the smokey haze,
longing to dance,
but
too blinded to move.

we may drink from different sides, but we all drink from the same goblet.
