darkroom safari
-
as a kid
i felt along
the walls of a
perceived dark
confinement for
escape
imagining that creatures
were taking swipes at me
with their claws and tentacles
knowing βfull wellβ that
discovery of a light switch
would end this game of
nightmares
YEARSβ
my illusion of exploration
has been reduced to ashes
from decades of rapid
illumination
just as well, i cannot afford
to trip my way through
the dark anymore
still
some nights i will turn the
lights off and imagine myself
searching patiently along
pitch black wooden panels
hoping next time i will
miss the switch &
instead
discover a lost childhood...

.
over the last decade
my torch has gotten
swapped out for a
candle
and it is increasingly
windy everywhereβ
scary...
