Gold
Inspired by the painting - Cosmo II - by donna e perkins
I was precious before the eclipse
holding a mirror to the sun
flaunting my split personality
as sky arced from yellow to midnight blue.
I was gold-cover for oozing decay
once gorgeous in death.
Now, my glow dims.
Gloss becomes matte in shadows.
I am tucked in canvas crevices
waiting for light
and the return of precious and patina.
