in shadow comfort
let night embrace me,
a blanket—soft
thick. the light is too harsh,
too bright,
too pervasive—burning my skin
until my eyes water
and I turn away.
where are the shadows?
the deep corners filled with
secrets and gentle truth,
the dusty places too comfortable
to clean—places too private
to bring into light.
I'm too pale for the sun.
let night embrace me,
let me sleep.
