The Dark Gives You Sight
Darkness triggers the mind to see,
if we have that kind of trigger.
The light can blind.
Respect the depth
of the unlit.
Fast-food drive-thru's
after 3 AM in the morning
at midday driving into the sun...
sun and neon
can bewilder shallow eyes.
How deep is the dark?
The more we fear to enter
the deeper it gets -
that kind of darkness
is within,
if we are aware
of that kind of within-ness.
We're deeper than we know
or yet more shallow.
