Life Beloving Dualdark Night

cold silo ache-echoing fear,
claustrophobic breathless dark
barking inevitable factness and finality
of my decomposing mortality,
of history's posthumous demise,

Hopeful...

Why LifeWhy does dawn dress robust morning,
while dusk undresses sight?
Each dawn incarnates another Earth Day
a lifetime of Easter mornings
redeeming nocturnal sight's revolution,
another therapeutic day of gift-it-forward light,
