a light in the dark,
for this feeling

Death’s Mask

Death's mask
coming to life.
The mighty fury of
his blazing eyes
in the dark.

A Dance

Posted on April 15, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
We had a dance.
I loved the music,
but it sounded sweetest in the dark.
By skylight it was our devil's psalmody.
