we must bring
our own light
to the
darkness.

You are not what you are;
You are darkness
Looking for light within.

The exceeding brightness of this early sun
Makes me conceive how dark I have become.

the best part was
pulling down the
shades
stuffing the doorbell
with rags
putting the phone
in the
refrigerator
and going to bed
for 3 or 4
days.
and the next best
part
was
nobody ever
missed
me.

I see a bright
portion
under the overhead light

that shades into
darkness
and then into darker
darkness
and I can't see beyond that.

The door closed and darkness claimed the room.
