Swimming
through oil
  Trapped
in the night,
                    not a star in sight.
Make love to the dark,
  greet the cold embrace,
let it move inside,
                              let it take over.
But then there's a gunshot,
  a shock, a flame,
  lighting up the pitch-black room
that is your mentality.

  And the darkness
                               slips
                                       a
                                         w
                                            a
                                              y.
