Distant bowls
Overflowing
With shards of
White lace.
They’d have attached
A harlequin’s mask
To the tissue of moonlight
And made it a golem,
If they only could.

No matter how many
Layers of gloves
You wear – the lace
Will always touch
Your silken skin.

Somehow
You’ll always feel
Like being sheltered
By the eternal number
28 and the golem’s
Cold gold.
I know, I know the title doesn't have anything to do with the poem, but I wanted to capture the feeling of entering a room at night, when every window is wide open and you don't see anything because the curtains are taking your sight (emphasized here with the bowls filled with lace).

 I think everybody knows at least ONE movie where this picture is being used ;)
(if you can't think of one: The great Gatsby. When the protagonist is meeting the blonde girl, in which gatsby fell in love)
