Eigengrau

 

to not see the darkness

not the darkness

– please –

– just the flimsiest of lights – 

– only an eyeful of light –


– hollow out my eyelids

so the darkness escapes –


the scarry place

– the why we invented fire

and bay windows –


– the night we can handle –

not the darkness

– the darknesses of the heart

we have learnt to endure –

not the dark of the dark

that which thrums in our heart

silhouettes shadows over shadows


– so our eyes will choose

a greying of the unsight

over the blind nothingness –

too deathlike not to be it

not to wreck all senses


– so we wait for daybreak –

– flickers of light –

– floating afore our eyes –

– in the eigenlight –
