The darkness thins with the break of dawn
Kissing me awake at last
Limbs stiff from unseen shackles, I ache
No longer smothered by that violent silence
Where night’s claws pecked and chewed at my frozen flesh

Hours like sand sift through fingers

Hours like sand sift through fingers
I grasp onto the light with a fever

The light fractures under the fall of dusk
And darkness welcomes me once again
