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
