I have been shrinking into myself
A dimming shadow of a girl
There is refuge in the hidden places
Of this too-large, too-tender heart
The spark of my soul is sky blue
Or was, once, before the rains came
And for shelter it lies in the hollow
Of my throat, eclipsed by sound
And thus, hidden
In the night, the non-light
This softness and shadow is boundless
I can encompass all space with safety
Fear not the sun and it's consumption
Of my beating, bloodied heart
