Darkness

The door is closed

The blackout blacks out

The finest pinpoint

Of light or spout


Wander of bass

Slow the rhythms fold

No walls to touch

No chains to hold


Accustomed to nought

Nought is lost

Unless you count

The time you cost


Therapeutic introspection

Images roll

Scroll through wasted years

Memories unfold


The door opens

Into night

Into nowhere

Further than sight


The blackout

Blacks out the night

Now the finest pinpoint

Shapes the shapeless flight


Burn the acorns

Crush the leaves

In the darkness

Sight deceives


The time is now

Over hollow floors

That we receive

The open chamber door
