after dark we vacate this skin soft shell

after dark the mind offers peace as travesty

of its own becoming from dark to darkness

call upon the old gods and madness descends

none to see the struggle beneath skin

dusk prayers we guide ancestors to rest

noon nap traverse the mental tundra

the red deepens in our frail minds

koi pond gliding fingers through silence

light pockets in the dark no escape
