“A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds.” -Percy Bysshe Shelley

Clean sheets
The poem stared back
at the two pleading eyes
saying nothing
about white or black
nor was any indication given
as to where a poet
should set up thoughts
for the night
with rigging and taut lines
for a reader to traverse across
in high winds
and find their own
-balance-
if the stanza is strong enough
to support mass tourism
and photography.
If you look long enough
or blur your eyes
an Image develops,
what comes through
was over-exposed, covered
with a starch of pareidolia
it was still safe enough
to be considered
shelter.
