Mostly Darkness

MOSTLY      DARKNESS

It’s mostly a mess
Of half-eaten black nothing
After sweet sunset in spring
When predator rays of darkness

Come devour the light sky.
Each unchewed dark bite
Reminds me that light -
No matter how I sigh –

Is impermanent, just passing
Through universal emptiness :
It's mostly a mess 
Of half-eaten black nothing.
