turn the light off

8 08 2008

there is a difference
in the texture of the light tonight
stale and slightly bitter
I am too tired
to see beyond the circular
prison of lamplight
into the shadows
the fear of darkness
lurks like a childhood spectre
long forgotten

I am beginning to understand

I must turn the light off

oooh, you had me at ‘texture of the light’. I could conceivably post this over my bed, because it’s so typical of me. ha!
