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

A new day (refurbished)
Meeting with the sunrise again,
alone,
time strikes me as the lone
witness to this.
The mirrors are everywhere,
blinding.
I wrote it all down
to get it out of my head,
to silence the voice,
to make it go away,
and then it was there
in front of me,
like the horizon
line,
too terrifying to retell
today.
Better to watch
the light change.
