Darkness Has Its Place

 Light is a constant
 Pulsing
 Darkness is smooth like pouring cream
 Filling the cracks
 It is darkness that does the heavy lifting
 Crawling across walls in the course of a day
 A sheltering cloak
 A wide oak spreading into the white
 Cool underneath

 Darkness has its place
 Nestling the firmaments 
The combusting stars
 Creators of life
Giving each the courtesy of a separate space

 Darkness has its job
 Nestling each heart within its cavity
 Together yet alone
 Woven
 One pin pricked black cushion
 Bleeding

 Can an x-ray reveal?
 The heart of darkness that resides within each
The engine in a cave
 Each heart a star beating
 A light bathed in darkness

Maybe we are all here to be lonely

To find our separateness

Our scapulas

Our heart beat

Our song

A knowing to bring back to the whole

Like a lion on a rock shelf

Perhaps we need a vantage point

Otherwise, why the horizon line
