It Is Too Dark

It is too dark to see the night
Shadows sharpen and expand,
a cover up against the moon
It is too dark to see myself
my eyes pretend to welcome black
My thoughts grow restless, then step out
onto the ebony and glide
I recreate a moon outside
I add the stars & let them fall
in different sections of the world
I feel a softness on my back
and find a flower the sun once touched
Then, in my mind I spread a quilt
and read the messages I wrote
so long ago when I first saw
the stars abandon height and fall
to rest a moment in the dusk
and contemplate the way back up
