The Anatomy of Darkness
Darkness envelopes me,
Folds in all around,
How beautiful is the blood that spills,
Again, and again,
And again.
I wish I could crawl back,
Into that corner of mine,
And feast upon the white light of others,
For my light is only grey,
I’m falling,
Falling, falling,
But I still don’t hit the ground.
Hear my scream,
As droplets of salt roll down my cheeks,
I crawl fiercely out of my corner,
That corner which always gave me comfort,
Risking everything,
So that when I fall again,
I will fall up,
Fall up into the light.
