Sticks and Stones

Darkness

And it seeps in through the floor boards and drapes over me from the ceiling/ crawls through the cracks in the walls and it's so beautiful/ engulfs me in it's beauty/ maybe one day I shall be beauty. Withers all around me/ moving as if running/ running away from it/ towards me because I am safety/ I am retribution/ I am what it needs to get what it wants. Writhes all around me/ trying to get into me/ seeking safety in my bones/ because I am safety/ and I am beauty.
