essential
companions
i make company with
loneliness
so i'll never have to complain
of too vast a space
and too crushed a heart.
i make peace with
silence
so willed deafness shall not impair me
and saying no to the static in my head
less excruciating.
i make friends with
dancing shadows
at least they'd never object
or move against my will
my only grief is that they leave so quickly
when it gets dark.
because i haven't
found ways to befriend darkness.
