Today I woke up to shadows
not really surprised
the darkness was
seeping in last night
the darkness is comfortable
the weight of it
safe
pressing everything else out
}including the words
it is all silent
in the darkness
then the shadows come
they keep me tethered
to the earth
so I don’t slip
in the rest of the way
into the darkness
and disappear
Have you seen Maiden, Mother, Crone?
