October 4, 2022 - Elizabeth Lerman’s “Dark & Dawn”

There has been no light, lately and I do think I love it that way and would maybe even want it dark all the time but I do not know what that would do to me and mostly, I would like to find out but something stops me, after a certain point, from needing night like that, forever, I mean, and I do not know much about day, only that it feels nice to be there, sometimes, when I forget what hours are and start to dream while I’m awake and I think, once it gets to the point of peeling my mind off the wall, of getting sick at the sight of it, of knowing I am running out of room, the day draws me out gently and it has been too long, which feels so good to say, because missing the sun like this settles me, sometimes, when dark and dawn begin to blend.
