Darkness

Tonight, I am not afraid of darkness.
My eyes are closed
and now open.
Nothing changes- immobile darkness.
Tonight, I am undaunted.
 
I look around to drink in
My room, my hands, my face.
Only boundaries of skin.
So insignificant.
Tonight, I am not afraid of it.
 
I am not scared of it devouring me
I am not scared of ghosts like I used to be.
I pine for darkness in place of lightbulbs
Because tonight, fluorescence drips from my spine.
And tonight, I am willing to diffuse in it.
