Night wraps chilly fingers round my neck as I lean to see the moonlight disappear, someone else’s day casting shadows on my night, giving me the dark while they have noon Both dark and damp with chilly tendrils a delicate caress that catches at the heart to make it shiver as the dark becomes complete and alone becomes a burden as night settles full of silent sounds that pulse beneath the skin the icy taste of fear like knife blades etching snowflakes on the heartbeat in the throat yet still I lean to see to watch the edge of light dissolve and start to grow it’s only an eclipse, light will come back it does not last forever, does it?

round my neck as I lean
to see the moonlight
disappear, someone else’s
day casting shadows
on my night, giving me the dark
while they have noon
Both dark and damp
with chilly tendrils
a delicate caress
that catches at the heart
to make it shiver
as the dark becomes
complete and alone
becomes a burden
as night settles
full of silent sounds
that pulse
beneath the skin
the icy taste of fear
like knife blades
etching snowflakes
on the heartbeat in the throat
yet still I lean to see
to watch the edge of light
dissolve and start to grow
it’s only an eclipse,
light will come back
it does not last forever,
does it?
