What is Dark?
is it the color we see when the lights go out?
or is it just a different spectrum of light?
is it associated with the trepidation
of the boogeyman gaining lethal power at night?
why are people intimidated by dark hues?
ignoring their function in everyday news
but they love utilizing coal,
fuel their cars with oil
and wear onyx to embellish jewelry
spar to retain the strength of obsidian might!
we bypass the pupil’s blackness that permits sight
but raise hell
when our eyes are not working right
a raven swoops down to the dusty, ground floor
chirping in a dismal tone, “use me no more“
pour out a forty ounce on a freshly painted ebon street
it matters not… how much you drink
the sun bakes fresh concrete
like the chocolate chips in decadent cookies
what is dark?
is it the color we see when the lights go out?
or is it just a different spectrum of light?
is it associated with the trepidation
of the boogeyman gaining lethal power at night?
the mind fully charges in the twilight
when the predators hunt
and sleep is embraced by the prey
when the shadows chase bodies at play
ascending owls colliding with bats and a talking wind
not heard during the day
blackness implanted into a world
growing as complex as the milky way
