I dip my fingers into the glistening oil,
Watching the black silk swirl around the tips.
I see many colors,
All at once,
Creating fountains of majesty,
Erupting from within.
I take my hand out,
Watching the black beads drip slowly to the floor.
It falls and splashes,
The thick liquid spewing on my shoes.
I look down,
And fall with it.
