Alight  -  A lantern in the darkness,
Already it dims, making me blind.
The darkness, mirroring suppositions.
Monsters and spiders I make that
May or may not be there. My
Cry  -  Fright, a benign touch
Malign in the light of my fear.
I want out, but this darkness
Is an oppressive darkness. It
Has limbs, and teeth, and eyes  -
Darkness, 'tis a living darkness,
Breathing in  -  I'm like a leaf
Made the lung of the universe.
