It’s not just my poems dear reader. Everything has darkness. The moon has a dark side. That is hidden from view. When the maker cried Let there be light. He left the darkness of night. Even the purity of the poets crisp white page Is nothing without the spilt black letters of his heart. I think you may have wished to ask of me Are you so sad Jude. I answer quietly. I am like the moon My darkness is not in view.
