It kept me awake after I had marveled at it—
You charmed me after I admired you
White as chamomile, evenly arrayed.
White like evenly arranged pearls

I laugh at it, as though it were hail
I laugh from you as if you were cold
Sent by Death after a lightning flash.
Death has sent you after you shined

Time turned against it, chipping it away,
Time has returned to make you wither
Little by little, as though stealing it away.
Little by little as if it was stolen
