at night the dark dribbles in
as does hourglass sand
piling slowly up until all at once
the house is full of it
that’s a lot of darkness
and now I have to wait until the AM
to try and live
turn a switch and chase it
you say
but that’s not how it works
around here
where there’s always a stray grain or two
left to stain my daylight
long after sunrise
Dark Matter
