Between asleep and awake, dear: what I write now is it's own lovely prose When theologians lit candles and wrote in the darkness growing Something hidden behind the day's normal light glowing and edging its way in the drone of the elongated shadowfield tinted magenta by the summer light Something important isn't right I stay up longer and longer and my eyes grow wearier and darker I sit silently or when I lie I toss and turn like the surface of the sea And the things around me shimmer and crackle And I hear them coming, coming for me.
