Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Heart If Darkness

for her i carry
a torch not a flame
but a flashlight
so that i
every night
can find
where
she

lays so that i
can lay beside
her until
one night not
realizing i had
left my light
on all 
day

ritualistically
i took up
her torch
and put my
thumb on
the on
button
but

it was
already on
yet no light
lit my sight
leaving me
in unwanted
darkness with
a beating heart

thinking what
to do i began
an endless
journey
reading
braille
walls
and

all that i felt
that came
across my
path gasping
at a finger's
find that i
never found
any batteries
