The Darkness as Night Whisperer
I wouldn’t turn on the light,
The darkness said, there’s no need.
I’ll overwhelm you,
I’ll keep you guessing,
That’s just the way I work.
Each day in the dark
Is a death. In the course
Of your life, you’ll die
Many deaths. You might
As well give up now
As later, be done with it.
You know what I mean,
The darkness said, don’t you?
I turned the light on
Anyway and I kept it on.
