Ear-ly Eve-ning


At the end of the day, 
when the crickets find me
most attentive to their feast of roses and drunken
nectar songs,

The darkness that settles in the pit I carry,
this stone heart needs no theorist
to confirm this is where the swallowed

Information has been broken into dark energy
as a compression of all things
in one day

Though they needed my light to see
and absorbed all thermal emissions,
fueled by love and friction
seared in and cauterized, the hole

Space for consolation with these over-
flowing words, no sense of black contains
All meaning

At the end of another day,
crickets had their final say.
