Soliloquy of Light

11.30.07
Light,
seek someone else but me.
i need the darkness so.
it fills me so.
makes me whole.
i cannot let you in.
i cannot risk it.

what is it with you Light
that you give yourself too much?
to me, who do not want you so.
what really is your warmth?
an unwelcome visitor
to what darkness has left
yearning, yearning cold.

Light
do I say what I need you to do for me
now that darkness has begun to feel
a little less vivid, like memories
of things long past
falling like hair
with each brush of Time?
do shed a little of yourself
to set my soul apart from
the unseen lives that walk
in circles, making the world
turn in endless monotony
like a hardened ball of clay
in a bored master potter’s hand
