When It's Dark Outside

A Poem by Pete

The Dark History Behind Ouija Boards

with empty pockets and a bankrupt heart
i thought i'd asked all the right questions

oracles never cry
their tears are born dry

ouija boards don't lie

so long

goodbye

"The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star." - Thoreau
