A garden in the darkness,
And the night insects
Skulk in the grass,
The whitest meadow,
Moon drenched
Crystalline.
And I
Shadowed in the crevice,
I do not know this place.
Time brews
An empty ticking
Sensation
And the quiet spider
Trembles in its web
I feel
This tremor,
A cascade
Through my marrow
And beneath
An upwards surge.
Eyes go amiss.
Then again
Another darkness
Pours over me
I pray to feel it resting
I know when it recedes,
It only sleeps at my feet.
