Light to light

I've mended a broken torch 
now I shine it in binary 
like a secret morse code
at a bright light house

sometimes I hold up a lighter
and let it flicker
in response to a halogen,
glowing like a reflection
an echo from a mirrored surface
that tiptoes its way 
into a glimmering screen

In between all that
is a passage of time
a thin long line
a gallery of voids
that feeds on empty insides
a cavity spilling with nothingness
dark alley that swallows any light

perhaps it needs a good blaze
but then everything would be bright
no halogen, no flicker of light 
could ever shine
through a burning maze
so the darkness stays
devouring its insides.
