Winter Blues
(for Tosca)
I am in the blue dark
wood by nightfall
as silent
as my dog not breathing
on her bed no pain
for the first time
no life
I am in the blue blue darkness
of night of no moon
of no sight
my dreams haunt me on the edge of sleep
Why is it even the sponge with which I washed
your floor makes me cry as I
rinse the last dirt away.

wood by nightfall" someone who actually understands pure darkness--have you ever seen something so dark that it mimics other, more brilliant hues? Truly a beautiful image. Faith, I salute you.
