Poem Shards
Off in the Darkness
 
Off in the Darkness
   it was me there
   And there were the dancing fireflies
    like alkaloid dreams.

  If I were only a shadow,
     like everything I do is nothing of me
       silent within the emptiness
    No cry. 
  "There is no waking from this" 
      I think and then
         all at once 
       I'm back with you

   You are not awake.
        I watch you sleeping.
 The morning light
      fills the room.
