On spending the night in a dark house

Alone wasn't a word until the door was closed; each sound in this place

Spells your doom.

The soul has places to go, you know.

It's feverish to fill, to take the essence of "I" and scatter it every which way.

 

Once you fall, and you will fall:

 

O, then see how the soul works!

Your charm is a sea-gooseberry, your love seeps into the fog,

Your smile is now the Sun.
