i wrote this poem about that picture

the dueling auroras in the moonlight sky
fight, but not for blood.
they fight sensually, like lovers, birthed
in the night, but live for their days.

the blue smoke intertwines
in ways that real poets attempt
to pen and translate into
what is modernly defined as a language.

the reflection the river gives off
pales in comparison to the vastness
and beauty of the auroras in the sky.
their blue light shines through miles,
through humans and through soles.
it's beauty is still, like a picture, but
is moving through the minds of the
inferiors it encompasses.
