Darkness
Darkness
Give me darkness-
At least that’s honest-
I know where I am with it.
This brightness-
Blistered by the webs
Fouled by the coal dust
Is too awful to look at.
Darkness brings peace
To my eyes that are
Struggling in a confusion
Of shapes and shades.
Give me darkness-
Or else clean pure
Whole unveiled light
